I have a Panda 53 plate - 26K. Just had its MOT. It failed on n/s front lower suspension arm rubber bush, o/s front lower suspension arm rubber bush and o/s front Macpherson strut excessive movement at the upper attachment.

My local garage (NOT a Fiat dealer) fitted two new front lower suspension arms and o/s front top suspension bush. The car then passed the MOT.

Since then my steering wheel when driving in a straight line is aligned slightly to the right and it looks like the n/s top suspension is misaligned. The n/s pic is the one showing the bolt.

The car is going back to the garage on Monday to be checked again for the third time since.

Any help here much appreciated.

Looking at the pics, can anyone advise what may have gone (badly) wrong here!

Yikes! Have they fitted the correct arms? Or are the things on upside down or something? That doesn't look right at all - if they say it's all OK I'd seriously consider getting the AA or somebody to take a look, those top mounts ought to be sitting down tight and central...
