we have looked at the strut insert and ok also the bearings and the ball joint and the other steering struts have been told it might be the shocks if so its ok as i have m5 shocks and suspension coming soon and interior

As your car appears to be RHD, have a look at the l/h steering idler arm. Any up/down play on this translates to l/h wheel wobble. Jack the front of the car up, lock the steering wheel and rock the l/h wheel in and out AS HARD AS YOU CAN - get a big fat person to do it if necessary!

HTH,

Shaun
