upper ball joint - MG-Rover.org Forums

I've had some work done on my 620ti to pass the mot but now it's come back with what feels like somthing rubbing. It doent allways happen but it does feel wrong when it happens.
What Ive had done is 2x new outer cv boots, rear breaklines, new frount pipe and o/s upper ball joint.

I've had a quick look round the car and nothing really seems wrong except maybe the ball joint they've repaced. To me it doesnt looke like it's fitted properly.

Looks like they've had to heat it up somewhat, but all looks OK to me.

I suggest you take it back to them.

Took the garrage back to the garrage, first they said its the back box baffles. Had to take one of the junior mechanics out for a drive all he said was it sound a little like wheel bearings but probably isnt.

Now been told as they cant find anything to come back in a few days when it's got worse!

Will be taking it to another garrage tomorrow!
