Ball joint, positive camber on drivers wheel now sorted
#50
Well changed the top mounts today, got the ones from ECP.
Think i found the problem, the drivers side top mount bearing was knackered badly corroded and split and the bearing was fitted up side down !!
About 6 months ago the drivers side spring snapped as i was leaving work, i didn't have time to sort it, so put it into a local garage to have 2 new springs fitted, and that was the only time the suspension has been out in the 3 years i have owned the car.
So fitted 2 new top mounts and all is good the drivers wheel now sits correctly and the dodgey feeling through the steering has gone.
Just need to get the tracking checked and adjusted in the next few days and all will be good.
