Help stop me wandering
Car is great round town but on open road it wont hold a straight line. There is no uneven tyre wear. The tracking has just been redone and was found to be half a degree out. The centre tie rod was replaced about 12 months ago and there doesnt appear to be any play on the steering. There DOES appear to be some movement at the inboard end of the lower control arms though I only just replaced them for the MOT. Had weight in it and torqued up the bolts properly. There is an audible clunk when moving the steering wheel when at rest. There also appears to be some up/down play at the rear end - the dogbones and wishbone bushes seem ok but the whole suspension seems to move down if the car is rocked in park. You can even see the exhaust move down on its hanger. So am I looking at new arms (again) and new subframe bushes? Had pics but sods law says they are a few kb too big to post
