Hi can any1 help have a Nct fail question? It's on d suspension part it says anything above 30% imbalance is a fail this is wat it reads on my sheet: front axel near side 33Mm offside 31Mm 6% imbalance, rear axel near side 43Mm offside 42Mm so imbalance 2% very confused am I reading this wrong?

What does the fail say exactly?

Far as I know the suspension test isn't solely based on the balance or imbalance. There are other factors too so you can still fail that section even if the figures match.

Tats it really then in the results box it has n/d circled in red pen I jus cant figure out if an over 30% imbalance on each axel is a fail if I'm only 6% on the front 2% on the rear why it failed ill try figure out how to post a pic I'm only new

even if both shocks on one axle are worn the imballance will be less than 30%.
they could be weeping oil or damaged

No clue about expressing yourself either. Try writing in clear sentences and attach a picture of the fail sheet. People will help you if they can understand.

If the imbalance is that negligible and one needs to be replaced, you can take it they both need changing
