I had a groan in the front right suspension area when turning the wheels side to side. Drop link had split rubber boot so as I had a spare set I thought I would swap it.
2 hrs later after having to saw the bolts off as the las garage that replaced them put cheap parts on I also found that the lower control arm ball joint was nearly falling apart. Didn’t have a spare so replaced it the next day.
Then the steering wheel was on the p!ss so ended up adjusting the track arms bit by bit until it was straight..
Need to get it aligned next week but it does drive straight and doesn’t pull.
All this is from pot holes in British roads.
Still have to do the other side as something is knocking slightly.
