My car make some funny crunching noise when i turn full lock right (drive slow) and can feel the car a bit wobble. No crunching noise but can feel something wrong when i turn into right junction (not full lock). No problem turning left.
Front tyres wear are normal and help needed cause i dun know wat cause this. Any advice will be appreciated!

i have this exact same problem in my gti, i turn full lock and it feels like the car is driving over marbles or something lol.
only happens when i go real slow though, normally when im reversing out a car parking space.
can't say i've got the crunching sound though.
i changed my anti roll bar linkage arms hoping that would sort it as they were kind of knackered, hasnt changed anything though.

My mot is coming next month, road tax due to renew as well. If getting too expensive i might just sell it off. Is a 1999 1.6xs, so worth less than 600 pounds.

I have something similar although don't think it's quite as bad as the described problem and my discs and pads all round have only been on a couple of months and covered only a few hundred miles

Similar to scottgti's car (like driving on marbles), but only happen when driving for lock to the right. Seems alright when reversing.
Let say is a worn cv joint, how much will it cost to repair it? It is harder than changing wishbones?

Had abit of a similar noise on a gti i have just broke, there was no play in any of the joints but was a small amount of corrosion to the passenger side top mount. And the drivers side tyre was worn to the wear lines.

It is more than likely to be the top mount as this is where a lot of stress is placed under turning so problems will be noticed.
Top mount is fairly 'simple' to replace if you have the right tools or know someone who does and you know what you're doing, if not, speak to a trusted garage and see what they quote.
To do the top mount it'll mean taking the strut assembly out so you can access it, also means disengaging steering arms (tie rods) and removing the drive shafts from the hub.
