Hi all,
currently in the process of recommissioning my SC and as it's stood for a while amongst other things I'll be checking is the front suspension. Thing is though I'm not that familiar with the layout of the system and I seem to remember reading that you can check the P6 suspension in the conventional manner and it doesn't show up any faults even if there are faulty parts, not only that I saw a recent(ish) thread from one of our Kiwi chaps with the ball joint failure and I don't fancy that outcome so I'd like to call on the expertise of those more versed.
Prior to lay up the nearside upper ball joint boot had split and after particularly nasty rain the car developed a creak until you filled it with grease again, incidentally I've heard that boots are now part of the MOT as before they were only an advisory.
All help gratefully received.
Thanks,
Jon.
