My problem was that the fork spring rod was bent on one side. Fair do's to the guy doing the MOT, he took the wheel, link, spring & rod out, straightened the rod put it all back together, wheel ok, passed MOT charged an extra tenner job done :D


Where did you take it for mot ?

Still can't make that into a link even though I now know that it is...
