Handling issue

Fatbloke!!

It's the balljoints on the front control arms!!

The key words you used: "went away when a rinsed under the arches with the hose"

I'd replace the tie rods also on the steering rack

Also check the upper front shock mounts.

Cheers. I had a look at the book I have (101 boxster projects). The control arms bolt into the middle of the wishbone. Is that correct? The pictures dont show the wishbone and control arm separaated so I have more questioons I'm afraid.

Can the bushes in the middle of the wishbone be replaced? Or, is what looks like a bush actually the balljoint you refer to? Can you purchase the wishbone and control arms separately or do they come as a unit? Is it better to replace both?

Its the first time I have seen a wishbone/control arm in two parts, usually they are a complete solid unit.

Sorry for all the questions but I would rather make sure I know what I am doing than break something or make it dangerous.
