hen it comes to the underside of our classic cars, it’s often a case of out of sight, out of mind. What’s even more concerning is that most of us tend to wait until something’s gone wrong — such as a worn ball joint, sagging spring, failed shock absorber or, in most cases, a failed warrant of fitness that identifies a problem — before we take appropriate action to rectify an ongoing, and sometimes dangerous issue. And as we all know, by this time it generally results in an expensive repair bill, because we’ve left it too long.
