MOT Passed but....

my TF passed its MOT this week almost with flying colours.

recieved one advisory....nearside ball joint has slight play.

now the car doesn't do many miles so it could probably wait but i would like to get it done sooner rather than later.

my question is.....do i just replace the worn one or do i replace them all??

what other parts are worth replacing at same time??

i'm thinking......

ball joints
track rod ends
bushes

i do want to fit new springs/dampers at some point in the future so i guess all this ideally wants renewing anyway.

thoughts and advice please!

As its just passed, there is no need to change anything or it would have been picked up, and at least been listed as an advisory if not a fail.

So maximum you would need to do is the advisory balljoint but as the car isnt used that much, I wouldnt even bother with that.

If you do upgrade your springs dampers, do all the joints then if you feel you need to do them.
