I think wishbone bushes or ball joints ..... looking for confirmation
#1
Got a bit of an issue going on. Not major, more annoying. 1996 405 estate. I've got a clunking that sounds like arb drop links but they're new and I've checked they're fitted correctly. I also have a slight, I'd say pull, but it's more of a lateral movement of the front end if that makes sense, to the right when accelerating, and left when braking or just decelerating, more obvious when towing and / or got weight in the car. The clunk only tends to happen under 30mph and the radio is enough to make it "go away". Also I've got slight wear on the outside of the right (o/s) tyre.

I'm pretty sure the brakes are balanced and I'm not blaming tracking (yet) because of the other symptoms.

Trouble is I don't know how to check wishbone bushes to confirm it.

Suggestions welcome. Thanks
