Problem!! Need Help!!

I have three problems with my saxo and started a thread to see if you can help me!

First one, my near side front wheel i can move my wheel back wards and forwards about an inch or so could this be my lower arm?

secondly, my off side front wheel when jacked up has some play in it the wheel moves, nothing else moves just the wheel and the disc, i got told this was the wheel bearing so i had that replaced but its still happening?

Thirdy, when i turn let and right i hear a clicking crunching noise coming from the steering collum?

Would be very greatful if you could help me out as i have MOT due soon and need to get the problems fixed.

There more than likely all connected, but the 1st one more than likely is the lower arm.

The noise you hear could be the CV Joint which is quite common. See if theres any grease leaking out of the gaiter around the CV Joint. You shouldnt need to jack the car up for this, just turn the wheels to full lock.

Who told you it was the wheel bearing, and where was it replaced?

No not the drive shafts cause had them both changed to new ones like a month ago...

Errm two mechanics one is step brother and the other one works at renault and he took the car into the garage and changed the wheel bearing "/
