   I've checked it over the wishbone looks fine the strut also looks fine but in my brothers car was making the same noise a while back and the result was a broken spring I've had a look but it's not broken and can't see any cracks on it

   I think it could be the dampers.. For them being standard dampers and for that corner being lowered or what ever shortens the life of them

   Your dampers could be completely fubar - but that wouldn't cause the wheels to rub.
   
   If you are still on the same wheels as before, jack the car up and check the ball joints and wishbones. "looking" ok doesn't mean it IS ok
   
   Check the track rod ends as well.
   
   Or your springs have sagged with age, so the car is lower than it was before.
   
   Or the wishbone is bent somehow.

    ive n0ticed this with mine recently I thought it was just hearing things, I only hear it when on one particular turn on a mini roundabout rest of time its normal. but like you its only down 40mm and standard shocks and apex springs.

    Sounds like the bottom ball joint might be gone. New wishbone?
