    Will my MOT inspection due soon cover literally everything underneath relating to suspension, steering, driveshatfs, gaitors etc.
    I'm sure I got at least one or 2 suspension parts that need replacing - getting a 'dunk' now and again when turning right and sure my pedals feel a bit 'gravelly'.
    Thanks

    is it coming from the back or front?

    If rear it could be the arb. Just happened to me. Easy as fuck to fix. Remove rear wheels, and theres a pear shaped plate on the edge of the axle. Its got a 13mm bolt on it at the taper of the pear.

    Undo this quiet a bit, then start tightening it up.

    Do a few turns until it gets tighter, then do a 1/4 of a turn at a time, removing the socket, and checkin if the washer spins or not. If it does, do another 1/4 of a turn

    apparently these are real prone to snapping. Thats why i used this tactic. Maybe i am over cautious, but spent loads fixing snapped bolts over the years, so safer than sorry!

    Good luck!
