Uncertain about which parts to replace after MOT

Hi there.

Had an MOT last week and was given a couple of suspension related advisories. The car has been driving a little wonkily recently so I was half expecting to have to do some work...

The advisories are:

Offside Front Inner (slight play in steering arm ball joint)
Nearside Front Upper (slight movement in strut mount)
Offside Front Upper (slight movement in strut mount)


I'd like to get these rectified as soon as possible, but won't be using the main dealership to carry out the work - could anyone tell me exactly what
parts these advisories refer to? To my (not overly technical) mind it seems to provide limited information on which parts would actually want replacing.

Car is a 2012 330d sDrive on adaptive suspension, for what its worth. Any advice much appreciated... Thanks!

Sounds like tightening nuts or even replacing them would be in order, check with your BMW dealer
