New to us but thought it worth making people aware to encourage regular checks. Forum search did mnot turn up anything.

Just before going to MoT/annual inspection it seems that both our lower front wishbones have similar cracks just outboard of the welds where to spring/shock unit connects. Not yet clear whether repairable or whether we need new wishbones. Won't know about this until they ore off/examined

Possible cause??

A "feature" of the welding of our early 2012 car?!

Loading?? .... most of our mileage (now >40k km) has been done two-up ... and a lot of that has been with luggage so we are operating at the higher end of expected GVW range.

Number of potholes on UK roads!

Anyone else had/seen this??
