    it wont hit the chassis at 50mm itll be inches away ive done saxos at 105 on the front and they havent hit
    if its making a noise like a clunking its a failed cv joint on the hub end and your mistaking that noise for it hitting the chassis

    Sounds like your chassis is twisted then, best get a new car.

    Double check the lower engine mount is on the right way round...
