Mcpherson strut has slight movement at upper attachment?

[NottsLCR]

Evening all,

So I had my MOT yesterday and very pleased to say it passed. Got the following advisory though 'Offside Front Mcpherson strut has slight movement at upper attachment'.

I'd like to have a look and make sure all bolts/nuts etc are tight but im not sure what to check?

Cheers

By sound of the MOT, just the mount at the top, if you open your bonnet there is usually a plaxtic cover pop that off and you will see a number of bolts, tighten them up or if theyre already tight maybe the rubber is damaged?

I'll Check it out at the weekend

One nut secures a large rubber mount and bearing on the 1m leons, it's not uncommon for the bush to wear slightly which causes slight play.

Are the bushes easy to replace? Is it just a case of undo the nut and replace?

The whole suspension leg has to be removed to replace them

Not a 5 minute job then like I'd hoped!
