lowering the suspension has a similar effect and to counteract it the king pin eye is cut from the arm, rotated so its at its proper angle and re welded and so light steering is resumed...technically illegal as far as VOSA are concerned as welding of steering components is not allowed, suppose you could argue its not a steering component..

Spanners, the law please :lol:


I am not he, but the MOT handbook doesn't seem to bar welded arms.

Leaf springs, torsion bars & coil springs - yes.
Arms etc - no.

My old fella's also a tester, his words were as follows:

"I'd fail it if it was obvious and not to a standard above or beyond the factory. If I had any doubts I'd either pass/advise or fail"
