Good news: MOT passed before I have replaced the drums and shoes but new set coming so will do it anyway but not this weekend as I thought I would have to.
Got advisories on;
suspension arm ball joint dust cover severely deteriorated front (both sides).
Anyone know about these or any pictures? Artic?
I had an advisory on one dust cover year before last.
If original, they are normally riveted in.
Have to say, for the relatively low cost, and ease, I just bought a pair - the whole arm (including the affixed ball joint).

Undo (3?) bolts, split the old joint and swap. (And realign).
Do the bushes also.

Yeah I seem to remember the same process on another car I had years ago, if that is all it is I shall get around to it before the next mot. Which bushes?
