   As title.
   
   It's a 2002 furio 1.4
   
   Just had the wishbones changed so can't be those? Steering has a bit play in it too feels like the wheel alignment changes slightly randomly.
   
   Anyone?

   Mines a bit the same, just had my WB and coil springs done and i still get a clonk from left so must be other bushes.

   If the bolts come un-done... otherwise you will need an angle grinder
   
   I bought these and this when mine didn't come off.
   
   I only used 2 discs, but it's always worth having spares, it takes about 30 seconds a bolt, and anything in future that won't come off you can just cut!

   especially if they've been changed before for chunkier ones. I bought some new ones a while back that had 19mm nuts and the allen hole was 6mm, so rounding them off was a LOT harder than the shitty ones that it had beforehand
