Yeah in which case, you can try the top mount by opening the bonnet, putting your hands on it and pushing down firmly compressing the spring. If there is vertical play, you will feel it knock. Also, put your hands on it and get someone to turn the wheel. You may be able to feel the bearing play. If its ball joint knocking, it's a new ball joint and. Hub unfortunately.
Yeh this about as much as i suspected.
I'll give the strut mount a try later; i'm fairly sure the bearing isn't shot; it turns fine with little grubbing noise, as far as im aware.
The wishbone as eli said was changed last year and was fine before the change.
And the hub, well.. new hub isn't the end of the world to replace.
oh, and we can here the noise when "jumping" on the N/S. whether this eliminates hub issues or not, i dont know
