Leon Steering/Driving Problem?

[RickC]

my car was out of track for a while as not being able to find somewhere do get it done, they were really far out more than the norm, when i drive i get a not loud but a thud thud thud, throbbing noise coming from the drivers side front wheel area, at about 70mph the steering wheel vibrates, ive tried 2 sets of wheels on so its not the wheels unbalanced, could the wheels being out of track nackered the wheel bearing or is it the cv joint? or something else. jacked the car up earlier and cant see anything loose or bent


help much appreciated as im at a loose end,

sounds like a cv joint. worth a trip to a garage to be honest if its that bad mate

Noise yes Rattling and vibration

External influence, i was driven into a kerb sideways before the car was sprayed

failed mot, the mot er said the boots were split and needed replacing oil looks to have been on the wishbone.

worn mountings, as above new boots needed.
