Hello all, on my last MOT I got the advisories listed below, anyone any idea what needs replacing to sort the problem!?

Nearside and Offside front suspension arm has slight play in a track control arm inner bush [2.5.B.2b]
Nearside and Offside front Macpherson strut has slight movement at the upper attachment [2.5.A.1c]

Any advise would be much appreciated!
 
Ah just found a piece of paper attached to the previous MOT and they've written: Both front wishbone bushes have play and Front top strut mounts have slight play. So bushes and the rubber mountings in the engine bay maybe? Are they a common thing to deteriorate?!
 
the bushes are really common as they are voided - so holes in them aleady meaning they will deteriote quicker than solid ones.
could well be easier to buy new wishbones with then already fitted than trying to fit them yourself unless you have a press.

not to sure on the struts but nothing on in the engine bay
