Yes, the noise seem to occur when turning left or right into sharp corners, almost 90 degree corners. It's just a quick pop/click, not long lasting. Would happen almost everytime if going into a sharpish corner with a bit of speed, not really at low speeds. Although, when I'm reversing uphill off my drive on almost full lock it would sometimes do it too  :confused:, obviously I don't reverse at speed!  :driver:

I have had all the suspension and wheels etc checked many times and fine each time, also been told that it's not the steering rack. That's why I thought I'd try these spacers/bolts as it seems like all the obvious things have been ruled out.

Well it seems to have cured it for now, just hoping it doesn't come back...  :smiley:
