With bonnet open this afternoon i noticed the top of both the suspension struts on each side......ie the big metal washer type thingy with a rubber surround with a plastic cover over the nuts........ arent sitting flat to the bodywork.....they are at an angle........drivers side being worse.....obviously used to be flat to the body......coz the paintwork is a lot cleaner where they were touching it.......
Whats the obvious cause for this?
I assume there are big rubber donuts underneath (one each side).....was on my veccyB anyway....coz i had them changed for failing an MOT for something being too loose........could it be this??
Will have to try to get this fixed before Newent......as it looks too big a job.
Cheers

I can only think of the bushes Dave.
Also, check the baljoints etc on the wishbone for play to be safe.
Struts don't actually look too bad to get out on these but camber would need setting up again..
