I don't have any play through my steering wheel (to speak of), but I get a slight 'clunk' over uneven roads/ potholes/ etc. from my n/s suspension (I think).

Any suggestions as to what it might be and advice on how to check for each symptom?

Many thanks,

Ben

 

lower ball joint, knackered shock possibly?? main question though what car is it?

 

Sorry, it's a Mk1 Focus 1.8 Zetec.

 

Probably the bottom arm, easy enough to check with a long bar with the car in the air & wheel off.

 

wishbones or track rods even replce the anti rool bushes that solved my ecos

 

was only kidding with ya could well be the wish bones as said above but if it's knackered your best changing the pair!

 

just asked my mechanic he said can poss be top mount on the strut (suspention)

 

my focus had this especaly when turning left but always on uneven ground and it was the lower arm ball joint. i think you can get replacement ball joints but you have to carefully cut the old ones off as they're rivited on with those big fuckers.

defo replace both sides though to keep geometry even. i just replaced both wishbones with new ford ones as my car had done over 100k so thought new bushes would be good too.

EDIT: get the tracking done after too. tell the garage that you;ve changed the wishbones and you'll get a second check and minor adjust free 2 weeks later 8)
