Afternoon

Just after some advice.
Advisory on the MoT - rear dampers misting.
I was thinking of the DMGR latest . offer (from MG7) - are they any good?
Also, though it went through the MoT without mention, the front lower ball joints are getting worn, and I also noted that rear tyres are wearing slightly more on the edges.
I will get the rears done - its cheaper - and do proper four wheel alignment, but do you think I need to get the front LBJs done too or will this not be an issue to alignment and probably last for a bit longer?
Just trying to keep costs down.
Any thoughts, and what price for labour roughly?

Thanks

Paul

I've done both this year. The rear shocks are easy to do and shouldn't affect the alignment at all. Changing the front arms - definitely worth getting the alignment checked.
No idea of labour costs.

The front lower ball joints are a must if you intend to get the tracking done otherwise you are wasting your money.---;)
