Plus i had to walk 3 miles home

She's having a brake overhaul, cos the rear brakes dont rise and fall at the same rate (whatever that means)

All the brake hoses are split (hehe)

and the Front nearside track rod end is having something done cos it has "excess play"

Soon be back in it again

I'm not sure you can "see" the problem.

Its more of a case someone being in the car turning the steering wheel "lock 2 lock" and looking for any slack in the control arms and the rod ends.
