Too many posts.. I need a life!!
I have a T-5 sitting in my road at home! 
If you get knocking from the front, sit on the ground looking at the front wheel and give it a good shake. If it wobbles, then it will be the top bushes. I went through 2 sets and the lad at the Volvo spares desk said they were impossible to wear! Tw@t!
I've drive one on and off since I was 17 (11 years ago), but it's been off the road since 2006. Great workhorse, but eats front tyres!!!
