Avoiding
MOT Failure
Steering Mechanism
Jack
the front of the car up and place securly on axle stands.
Grab each of the front wheels at each side and shake the wheels
vigourously. There should be no free play and the steering mechanism
should be free to turn.
Check that the wheels do not wobble indicating play in the wheel
bearings, ball joints or suspension mountings or bushes.
Repeat these tests grabbing each wheel from the top and bottom
to check for any vertical play. |
 |
Spin the
wheels and make sure that they turn freely. There may be some friction
from the brake pad. If this is the case then touch the brakes and
repeat. If the wheel tends to lock up, this can be an indication of
worn wheel bearings along with any grating noise heard while the wheel
is spinning. Again make sure that this is not the brakes.
Repeat these tests to the back wheels after the back of the car has
been jacked and placed on axle stands.
