MOT Failure on Front Shocks?????????????

[paulsilv]

Had the GULF Replica in today for MOT and the tester failed it on the front shocks. It has lowered AVO springs on with the original shocks and the tester said he could get his fingers inbetween the bushes at the top of the shocker.

Is this common, and do I need to fit shorter shocks and if so which ones.

Don't want to get replacements and find I have the same problem again.
