Can anyone tell me whats up with it ?
I turned a corner with my full lock on and there was a loud bang from the front left wheel,
Now my gearstick Is wobbling back and forth when I drive, if i go over 3000 revs the whole car starts shaking and nearly nocks itself out of gear,
Any advice guys

Sounds like your CV joint has gone. Loud bang when on lock, heavy vibration when accelerating

It'll be cv joint, I had the same and replaced every engine mount to find it was drive shaft.
Usually about £90 from motor factors and you get about £45 back when you take your old one in.

Oil or grease? Big difference. If its grease everywhere, its a CV joint (which sounds very likely in this occasion) but if there is oil everywhere (you can tell GB oil because it bloody stinks!) then you need to look elsewhere :/

No idea whats in your gearbox lol.... Gear oil smells bad but not like shit! More like the scrap yard on a hot day, burnt metallic oily smell that sticks in your throat.
