My 2010 4/4 sport with 20k on the clock barely scraped through the MOT yesterday with "Axle swivel joint has play in a swivel pin" this was on both sides. The tester let it through but said I needed to see to it. So is it just bushes required (if so what type & material?) or is it better while the whole thing is apart to replace the kingpins - if so with what? stainless, hard chrome.
Not being mechanically minded I will have to take it in to be done. I`m looking for a long term solution rasther than a cheap quick fix i.e. it seems pointless replacing the bushes if a few months down the line the whole lot has to be redone to replace kingpins. I`m thinking of labour costs & inconvenience here as well as materials.
Advice, suggestions very welcome.
