The fault

How you spot it

The control arm bushes wear out, the anti-roll bar links work loose, and along with them the track rod ends and the ball joints wear as well. Symptoms: knocking and rattling on uneven roads, imprecise, "floating" steering, uneven tyre wear. Rarely does only one fail. By the time all of them are done, the bill adds up, and at the roadworthiness test each one is a separate failure point.

How we know

Information, not an expert opinion

We write the descriptions, and we put the source next to them. A person reviews them before they go out. They are still information, not a technical expert opinion.

  • A fault on the list does not mean the car you are looking at has it.
  • A fault missing from the list does not mean the model is fault-free. Write-ups are made model by model. Not all of them are done.
  • You decide whether to buy. This is no substitute for an inspection. That needs a workshop and a history check.
