    I have a feeling mine are knackered, well one but it will strain the other side too.

    When going over the slightest of bumps or a speed hump it knocks when i turn right about 75-90 degrees and when i go over speed humps..

    Can anyone confirm this?!

    If the 7mm allen key hole doesn't turn in to a lovely circle...other wise it's a trip to B&Q for a £15 angle grinder and some £2 metal cutting discs (I speak from experience)
