Convertible 318i 1991. Just passed MOT but front wheels have a small amount of play when gripped at top and rocked. When the car is jacked up by a very small amount, 15mm, there is no movement. Ball joints and rear mounting OK as are the top mounts for the shock absorbers ????

If it's passed an MOT that was carried out properly, there shouldn't be anything wrong.
The compliance of the front control arm rear bush should allow some movement of the wheel.
