hi folks, im having a horrid noise coming from my frount wheel like a rubber sqweek grinding noise, first noticed it on steering , sounded a bit like low steering fluid, but now it it on bumps when strait and at its worse when steering , does anybody know if the ball joint makes this noise when going, as i know there not easy to detect on a is play wise, also is it likely to be the bottom , cheers

Hi Dave, i had the same symptoms/noises and it turned out to be the bottom ball joint mate, and remember to get your geomtry done after replacing ball joints.
