Hi, title say's it all really,
The cars's a 2005 model, done around 260K now, so its only normal parts need replacing at this stage, and I've already replaced the front upper control arms about a year ago after an advisory.
Since then I've noticed:
- Generally twitchy steering, though not as bad as before replacing the control arms.
- Tyre wear on the front is now much quicker than expected, and especially so on the RHS.
- And, there's a creaking on the same RHS when coming to a stop.
There;s always been a general creaking when turning lock - to - lock, especially now the colder weather comes.
What are the usual suspects for this kind of thing? Most of the other posts seem to point to the upper which I've already done, so I had a quick look, with the RHS front wheel off, and can see a very slight wiggle on the lower wishbone, but can;t see what else it could be...
Any ideas what to look at next? Thanks.
