    Hi,

    car passed the NCT this morning and I have a few questions regarding the report

    The suspension tests show

    front axle 23mm ( nearside ) 28mm ( offside )
    rear axle 29mm ( nearside ) 34mm ( offside )

    Am I correct in saying that both the offside shocks/springs are allowing more travel than the nearside ?. I know that i need to replace as a pair
    ( both shocks/springs ) on the same axle .


    The brake test Ovality
    Nearside offside Nearside offside
    front axle 2.55kn 3.03kn 13% 12%
    rear axle 1.77kn 1.35kn 64% 60%
    parking brake 2.07kn 1.89kn

    what does the Ovality test show.


    thanks in advance

    i think ovality relates to you drumbrakes at the back, its weather or not the drums are worn into a oval, so you dont get even braking..


    the rest of the results looks good, you have to allow for their machines error, your suspension is grand:)

    slight imbalance on the parking brake though, if you have drums its a piece of piss to adjust:)
