I will go with Christian on that one... But to add, what tyre width are you running?

Is there any knocking over bumps/rod-humps?

I would say at this point, that you should jack her front up and inspect ALL bushes...

thanks guys i will try and get the front end up tomoz at work the tyre size is 235 45 17 no knocking when driving over speed bumps or anything like that . did check all the track control arms and the nut that holds them on just incase a bolt was moving about but have been told poss steering box prob does it sound like it could be that ?? to be honest its suspention is acting a bit like a cortina or granada used to ???
