hi all i just been reading another post on here about top suspension mounts, well my car feel unstable mainly turning left my left tyre has worn on the outer edge but i had my tracking done and its still wearing it out so i no tracking is fine plus i had new drop links and track rod end so dont think its them,
there is also i clunking noise while car is not moving turn wheel from lock to lock it clonks or getting out off a car park space for exsample, so i thought would this top suspension mounts be making that noise and making the left tyre were and making it feel unstable thank you

As above or could be top mounts sounds like it either get under the car yourself and give everything a good test to see where the weak link is or take it into a garage so many things could make it clunk
Also once a tyre had started to wear badly it will be difficult to get it to stop

hi, you have any luck with your car? if not you could try having a look yourself, obv jack the car up and use an axle stand where possible. if you grab the wheel and shake it from side to side and top to bottom. this will show up play in the rack/track rod end/topmounts ect. if there is play you could get a friend to shake the wheel and you can have a look, feel various part for play etc to double check if you cant pinpoint it..to check the lower ball joint take the weight off the wheel and put it on tight lock and get a bar between the hub and balljoint to lever it down.this will show the play in the bj. if your not confident take it to a trusted garage.
hope this helps a bit
