    • Offside Front Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn Radius Arm Front Bushs (5.3.4 (a) (i))
 
Do they not mean the'pin' at the rear of the radius arm that poles through the chassis? That pin may be worn and is part of the arm itself

i would not think so because they changed the radius arm bushes and it passed the M.O.T.. until the next year, then advisory exactly the same as previous year.

It says radius arm front bushes.Kermie. if you're doing the job yourself Al then get the four nuts and bolts as well, they usually need cutting off as the inner sleeve rusts to the bolt preventing it from being knocked out.;)

It says pin or bush ;) it could still be the other end of the radius arm :p
