GT failed the MOT on front drop links and rear strut bearings/bushes. Advisory on the longitudinal trailing arms.
I have take the offside strut off but had a right job removing the strut/stub axle pinch bolts. I have knackered the nut and the threads drifting them out. I suspect the nearside (in the gutter) will be at least as bad.
There are two pinch bolts/side. I reckon I need new nuts to as the hammer kind of marmalised them :lol:
All told for both sides about £65 inc VAT from Alfa. Now I certainly need the offside set, and they will be replaced but wondered if there is anywhere else to try for the bolts/nuts first?
