   Okay people, your probably bored of this but just a quick couple of questions
   
   When the car is breaking from any speed a noticable knock comes from the front end towards passenger wheel..
   
   Also if i turn right quite sharply another knock comes from what sounds like the drivers side...
   
   When i full lock the wheels too, the wheels feel like theyre flexing or fighting with each other rather than driving the wheels it seems like its dragging the opposite one to which the way im turning.
   
   Ive got a spare VTR so if you could tell me what the problem is i could switch it over
   
   Possibly swapping whole suspension set up.
   
   thanks people

   Could be alot of things i'm not sure? Lower suspension arm? Wishbone? Strut?
   
   Track rod end? Is there play in the steering wheel, when turning it side to side just a fraction does the car respond?
