wishbone help needed could be the wheel bearing

[acidstrato]

what holds this up? basically i just tried jacking one of my front wheels up and it didnt rise? the chassis just went up and the wishbone went down. i got the wheel off and it had dropped further and i had to jack the wishbone up so the hub was high enough to fit the wheel? everything seems connected?

also got a grinding sound developing which is why i checked the wheel in the first place thinking a stone had got caught in the brakes

trying to sell the car and this is not what i wanted! to top that i'm stuck in work

Check the strut top mounts are all ok, and the strut itself.

Are you sure your not just dreaming lol

lol its possible, forget the wishbone for now, as i think the noise is the wheel bearing going as its louder when i turn left. it makes a strange rubbing sound as i drive slowly and crackling/grinding.....ring any bells?

i did have a look at the strut top mounts they are seated fine, will have another look
