Alrite sweetbreeks! Not bn on board for ages.
Anyway, just noticed that when i turn the wheel one way, right I think there's a clonking noise coming from my front right wheel. Think its the ball joint as I think the gaiter had split as it was looking a bit flat when I did my brakes and the other side was replaced when I did my cv joint as a precaution cn as it was apart.

possibly it could be the joint or the tie rod end
on mine it was the tie rod end so i changed the rod ends and the balljoints in 1 hit

Cool, will check it out as its due a service soon. And the hanbrake need fixed as the pivots on the levers on the shoes are sticky. Damn cars! Makes sense to change both when its apart, esp since mines has just passed 70K & its only 4 years old!!

grease it up, leave it ,grease it again, wind the joint halfway then tighten it back up to get all the grease round the thread, should come out quite easy now
