suspenion problems

[john_boy132]

hi there. i took my car in for MOT yesterday and it failed on the suspenion springs being loose when car jacked up. now i aint no MOT tester but i thought it was a pass and advise?

could anyone shed any more light on the situation? or any ways round it?

(its lowered 60mm with with billy springs and shocks)

cheers john

its all down to the tester if the tester feels that the car is unsafe and wouldnt carry there own family in the vehicle then it is a fail

ta mate. i have been told if i cable tie them to shocks its a pass. like i say its only when its jacked up. and the suspenion has been bought as a kit no cuting of springs or owt like that. also the testers braking a mk3. all abit sus if you ask me

sounds abit suspicious, probably the best thing to do is get it looked at by a different mot tester at a different garage see what they say about it. a decent garage will have a quick look and tell you of any problems and the best cure free of charge
