    Clunk when accelerating/decelerating

    Steering wheel violent feedback!

    i would just get underneath it with a decent torch and inspect every aspect of the suspension and steering, give everything a good going over and try moving ball joints and check suspension mounts with a crowbar to just see how much movement you are getting. Thinking about it, if you jack the...
