    There is a bit of play in my rear suspension linkage which will be an
    issue at MOT time. According to the HBOL, this is usually due to worn
    pivots. Would any of you fine people know what Honda call the pivots
    on their assembly diagrams so I can order the new ones?

    All depends on where you take it for an MOT. Some testers allow a
    little bit of play and some want it all rock solid when you try to move
    the link. Choose your MOT tester carefully.

    My 'storm failed on rear wheel bearing play. I thought bearings should
    have a little play, but the tester said otherwise :/

    Wasn't worth overly arguing the toss with, as I had a spare wheel in
    the garage anyway ..

    It shouldn't be easily noticeable for the MOT. If you can feel it
    there's too much play.

    In that case, most definitely, just for your own safety's sake.

    My thought exactly. The problem is that it is not too clear which bits
    I need. Looking at the picture:

    I think I need parts 28 and 30 and the dust seals to go with them. I
    don't really want to take out the linkage before I have the bits since
    I need the transport.
