HI fellas, thought i'd get a bit of feedback before I go replacing MORE parts.

I'm getting a clunk coming from the passenger side strut area under setting off and hard braking. I also get judder through the steering wheel under braking that is not present at any other time, only when braking. I'm also getting what would appear to be a bearing/CV type noise when turning right but a garage has confirmed the bearing and driveshaft are in good condition. The discs are also seated properly and confirmed not warped.

The judder is more of a wide side to side shake and can feel the car pulling slightly over rough ground, also getting a fair bit of torque steer under load.

Within the last 12 months its had:

New front discs + pads
New balljoints x 2
New hubs + bearings x 2
New top mounts + bearings x 2
New wishbones P-bushes and round bushes

Only think I haven't touched is the track rod ends. The tracking is definitely out, but the TRE's were replaced nearly two years ago with pattern parts. If one's not done up tightly enough or is worn, i've heard it can lead to all the symptoms i'm experiencing.

Thoughts?

Really rather hope it's not rack related.

The tracking seems to vary though when you look at the car front on. Some days the N/S wheel definitely has more toe than others. Almost definitely play in SOMETHING...

iv had the small 13mm bolt snap in my p-bush once
p-bush destroyed pretty quick and wasnt good for rest of bushes and track rod ends

or.... but if you havent replaced the track rod ends in a while id go for them.

Also check your Track Rods themselves ; where they meet the steering rack (hard as they have rubber covers you wont get off)
i had to replace mine a bit back, although that was more of a constant wobble which got worse when braking

Drop Link ... ftw!

Just had similar symptoms. Felt like the front steering/suspension was detached. This was caused by just one end of the right drop link being seized.

Also check the calliper to hub mounting bolts for the brakes ... and apply locking compound 120Nm i think.

i'll just have to take everything apart again i think. Had it all stripped down when I fitted new top mounts, ball joints and bearings, the noise was present before that. Will pop to the motorfactors, TRE's aren't exactly expensive and mine look to be a bit seized
