Frequently asked.

Why does a suspension pin, bush or joint… fail an MOT?
A suspension pin, bush or joint excessively worn. Most commonly flagged on the Mitsubishi Shogun Sport. The DVSA's MOT standards require this item to meet minimum safety thresholds — when it falls short, the tester logs it as a Major or Dangerous defect and the car fails outright.
How much does it cost to fix a suspension pin, bush or joint…?
Typical UK garage cost for suspension bush / joint / spring is £80–£240. The range reflects regional labour rate differences and part-quality choices. Main dealer rates are usually 30–50% higher.
Can I fix a suspension pin, bush or joint… myself?
This repair typically needs workshop equipment — a lift and specialist tools. Most owners book a garage rather than attempt it at home.
