Me again,getting to the bottom of my damm awfull handling issues.Got the new slightly higher koni`s on the back 40mm instead of 60mm.
Still having to wait until after my hol before i spend more getting the fronts put on and set up propperly.
With the camber as it is,and lowered 60mm i get horrible bump steer,and torque steer when i put my boot in,it scrabbles all over the shop,and is pretty unnerving,i don`t use it in the wet too scared to drive it until i get the konis on the front.
Had a look at it this eve,when i wobble the passenger side wheel top to bottom,side to side,it sort of clunks,and gives a bit( i thought it was a lose wheel bolt,so i got the bar on it and they were tight,kinda feels like that though if ya get me),drivers side does not do this.
It`s had new ball joints,new bushes and clamps,new arm thingys.
Any ideas what this next issue is ? could it be a bearing going due to wrong camber ?

steering rack inner knuckle joint ?
Maybe theres abit more play than usall in the cv joints, or even it could be play in the top mounts. Are the wishbone bolts nice and tight as well, had them off
for anything ?
If it was a bearing, you would hear it really bad inside the car for a large amount of play in the wheel. Is the hub nut nice and tight ?

Had all new wishbones bushes and brackets,will check for tightness of the hub nut,as had that side off to replace a cv boot,top mounts were new ish when i put the last set of suspension on,2nd hand ones that were a bit duff !
steering rack inner knuckle joint ?
Will also have to look at this,i had set the steering wheel to centre,but when i took it out for a drive it sort of pulled down to the left again,and has stayed there since,it`s weird as i had the wheel dead centre ,drove for a few miles like that,then went left hand down and is now stuck there ?

Sorry mate, i meant to say the steering rack inner knuckle joint under the steering rack boot, not the one in the car at the bottom of the steering colum.
