Madmods,

just a quick update - it was one of the front control arms - the one with a fork like links and a ball joint. One side with excessive movement on the balljoint and the other slight.

They were TRW branded (or at least the box said TRW) and lasted 1 yr + and about 28k km.... (and a number of big potholes) hmmmm...

Changed the 2 front control arm and now the vibration through the steering wheel is almost gone and the handling is tidier as well. AND no more wooden floor board noises when going to uneven roads.
