X-Mas Eve MOT FAILURE

[JimoVTR]

My parents Nissan Primera 2.0 GT failed its MOT today:-

Needs one new brake pad (easy)
but also
to "play" in front suspension near side ball joint.

Is this a big difficult job?
Mum doesnt know cos shes... well, mum
and my dad is more into bikes really.

[Ryan]

front ball joint usually means new wishbone at alot of garages, as they cant be fucked to press out and press in a new ball joint.

[JimoVTR]

fairly expensive then?

[Ryan]

depends on the garage, if its the bottom ball joint which connects the wishbone to the hub/strut. and they do a new wishbone that will prob be a fair bit (100 ish depending on manufacture price/garage mark up) then fitting.

[JimoVTR]

damn, and i wanted to lend some money off them!

[Ryan]

wait and see yet dude, may be surprised just with garages i allways take some KY with me,

[JimoVTR]

haha - my mum will take it, so, its up to her to take it or not :ill:

thats wrong!

[Crunkers]

I have been quoted at £70 for a replacement wishbone Jimo so shouldn't be too bad mate

[JimoVTR]

Thats good then, because there also buying my tax this year for my christmas

[Ryan]

there will be fitting on top of the cost of the wishbone though.

it depends on how 'time consuming' the garage feel it is.
