Really in this country we should have a proper TUV system, no hobbyist should be allowed to design their own suspension and weld up their own parts for it etc, im actually relatively confident in mine TBH despite whatever it is you are apparently mocking about it (would genuinely be interested in some actual constructive feedback if you really have any) but its certainly something that a non qualified person like myself could easily get wrong or misplace trust in.

Everything K37 mentions really should trigger an IVA anyway TBH, although my car predates those rules, but none of it is followed up by MOT stations etc. Its more to do with controlling costs than safety though as far as im aware?

Our rules are definately too relaxed although that suits me personally obviously.

are you saying that your car does not suffer bump steer with track/steering arms that short over full travel ?
you must have changed it alot since the pics i saw.

I agree on the laws though - but the mot does affect welded suspension parts like tcas ect though no one ever bothers to enforce it.

sorry to the OP for detracting the post.
