seriously tho, what car is it? maybe the bushes are gone (if its an older car...or ex taxi)

we just had similar problem with my mates, so we took the front steering knuckles off and replaced both upper and lower ball joints. while we were doin ti we diod all the suspension and the tie rod ends. something in there was the cause, cause it stopped. my money was on the ball joints, the lack of rubber boot on the uppers was a dead give away that they were knackered
