As above, plus I'm a big fan of keeping the beam well greased with the 4 grease nipples on the beam to try and lessen further wear. All is described in the Haynes/Bentley/Autobooks depending which you choose :)

Thanks Peter I used this link and the information that Dave has put in this thread is much clearer than my Haynes manual, the play that was in my front beam that has made it onto the advisory's list of the MOT is now sorted! Again thanks to everyone on the forum for their posts!
Doug.
