Hey guys, couple of things ... First off, when going around left corners (and only left corners) and over rough roads I get a slight vibrate through the whole car and steering wheel as if something is loose, maybe a wheel bearing? Not sure if the fact it only does it around left corners helps with finding the problem? Secondly ... When i first start my car and pull off the drive i get a clunking sound (guessing it's from the suspension?) this happened when i first got the car lowered but stopped for about 2 months and now is back, any ideas? Cheers in advance

Sounds to me like the ball joint is worn on one side of the car.
Mine did that previously Where it made a noise when I set off and also vibrated through the steering wheel over rough roads.

possibly a CV joint has gone and has been for a while by what you say.
another possibility could be a seized strut top bearing but usually you would hear these more on turning when stationary like going on full lock to the left. wouldn't normally expect a vibration from most suspension parts even when knackered, so a good check underneath required!!

| If in doubt, drop a cog and put your foot down | |
