Exclamation MOT Failure HELP PLEASE!!

Hi

I have a 1999 fiesta zetec LX and have just been failed on my MOT because the nearside front bonded suspension and the offside front bonded suspension bonding has failed and part of the unit it likely to become displaced.

Does anybody know what this means because the MOT guy wasn't very helpful and I dont want to get ripped off.

Thanks very much

Love Kate
xxxx

OOh and somebody else i spoke to reckons it mite be the steering wishbone.... not sure what that is either!!! Any advances!!!!

Take it to ya nearest FORD Dealer babe, the will know what craps out on them and they will go straight to it and fix it right first time.

Yes, well known on these and Ka's, both front lower suspension arms/wishbones will need replacing, probably about £220 fitted in the dealer, cheaper at back-streeters.
