Fitted new drive shaft and took it in for MOT. Needed new track rod end and they had to bodge the rusted/broken exhaust mounts to secure it back on. Passed in the end  :smiley:

 1 advisory - Front right brake imbalance of 21% <<<<<< What does this mean?

How bad is that? Would that cause swerving under heavy braking right?

try it go down your road at 30, make sure no cars are behind/next to you and slam on the anchors see what happens.

i recon you would feel a slight pull.
