No im not on gravel :roll:

When backing the car out a space i get a clonking/crunch noise, closing thing i can describe to is if you are unbolting a tight corroded nut, when the spanner judders and the bolt creak etc - make sense? :mad:

Also get a click when if i brake after i have been driving along a bit, this is all from the same O/S/F wheel :(

I have play in the steering rack end ( tie rod? ) which i need to investigate further, but this has been this way for months....

Any thoughts?

Matt :)

front brake pads might be sticking in caliper slightly. remove pads, clean calipers & pads, grease & reasemble.
