I have recently had my car in for repairs including having both front top mount struts replacing. At first i thought that this would solve the problem but it has not. when i turn full lock to the right both forward or reverse the front wheels are jerking like going over loose gravel etc. my other thread has died so i thought id try again, the other people suggested tracking, or v belt?
any one able to help me so i know a rough estimate and guide when i call the garage?
thanks again

looking for those parts on google image lol im no mechanic but i do know where they are located on the car and could possibly think that they are to blame, annoying thing is is that i paid over £100 to have the top struts replaced 
whats the long term damage leaving it alone? if it is these that are at fault

Drive shaft?
Time to let a knowledgeable mechanic have a quick drive and disgnose. It could be £20 - £30 well spent and there isn't a commitment to let them repair it. If you are lucky a few beers might do it.

On my 306 the drop links had a slight clunk when turning full lock but it was also noticeable when going over bumps. I also had worn bushes in the lower arms but that affected driving and felt like the tracking was out.
