Had the Mehle drop links and replacement O/S strut fitted this am and it got through the re-test OK this afternoon.
The N/S drop link lower joint was the culprit, it wasn't as bad as the tester's comment "....ball joint likely to become detached..." but the bellows was intact and there was more than a little play in it so my guess is either insufficient grease or a poor (SIAC/DMGRS) product to begin with.
