   Saxo Vtr 52 plate
   
   When I go about 55-60 obviously being an old French car there are rattles, but if I slightly bare right my front right wheel sounds like it's grinding. Horrible noise.
   
   
   Also replaced drop links as they were creating a horrible knock. Only to find a week later the knock was back but worse. They were quite cheap ones.
   
   Or could it be track rod end or something? Cheers

   Ahh! The knock is a very similar sound to the drop links, happens if I go over a speed bump, or off a curb. How much you reckon to raplace track rod ends? Cheers bud
