Hey guys hope you can help with these problems:

1, accelerate and pulls hard to the right and to the left when braking, I changed the wishbones and drop links 3-4 months ago.

2, banging from suspension when turning lock to lock, I suspect top mounts but would like some reassurance Smile

3, steering wheel shakes left to right at speeds as low as 25mph but only really noticeable when cruising along

4, a rattle/vibration coming through my pedals when driving at higher rpm's

5, loud bang whenever I go over a bump coming from n/s front arch area

Hope you can help with this Smile

Thanks in advance

Sounds like several issues. Gear linkage or gearbox oil level maybe. Balance and tracking and any number of suspension issues. How old is the car? What kind of life has it had? How well has it been looked after? Any issues on the last mot?

It's a 2000, has 85k on the clock, I've done 4k of that in the last 3-4 months, being honest I do drive it hard sometimes, before me it was sitting for 6-8 months and mot flew through, since I've had it I've done:
Front wishbones
Front ARB links
Alloys + tyres
Rear shoes
Service
Head gasket
Cam belt
Water pump
Core plug in head
Wheel balancing and tracking with more tyres

Spent a bit on her tbh lol

sound to me as oil level in box it low or its a syncro ring/ linkage issue. could have knackered top mounts and could have an issue with the brakes if its pulling to one side too. I would take the front running gear apart and give it a good clean and inspection. anything that looks knackered replace. make sure everything is done up to correct torque and hopefully it should cure it

Vibration from front could be damaged tyres. if the car was stood for a long time and tyres were soft or flat the side walls could be damaged giving the steering wheel shakes that you describe.

To be honest with the mix of symptoms you have I would get a trusted garage or mate to give it a good look over and test drive.

Remotely fault finding combined issues isn't easy.

Gear selection could be clutch worn or adjustment or as already suggested in posts by others.

He said he had new alloys and tyres. It could be warped discs causing the vibration. I would change the top mounts, drop links and have it tracked if it was me.

Think I've narrowed the wobble down to maybe a buckled front left wheel as it's just eaten through the tyre and at low speeds it pulls the the left at the same time as a rotation of the wheel, putting a new tyre on it tomoz morning, getting it balanced and checked out and put back on the rear, the loud bang when going over speed bump is still there and getting worse though, plan to investigate the weekend coming Smile
