Can lack of use of car lead to Steering Arms on passenger side needing to be replaced?
Had car MOT'd in Oct and have only put 2000 miles on it since then. Just taken for service and I need the Steering Arms replaced. I'm wondering why this wasn't noticed whilst the car was under warrenty in October. Any ideas?

lack of use can cause rubber bushing's/boots to corrode away quicker !!
