The timing belt/auxiliary belts/dephaser pulley were replaced in 2011, so will probably need doing soon.
So should of been changed 2 years ago
Sounds like the exhaust manifold if hitting the anti roll bar.
Also sounds like the exhaust is whistling/ blowing from the cat to mid section (most likely)
The steering wheel was straight and the car drove how it did before the ball joint change.
This proved that the aftermarket ball joint was not the correct size compared to the original.
Just replaced a clutch on the 182 and removed both bottom ball joints from the arms sub fame etc put it back...
I had a off centre wheel when i changed just the ball joint on one side for a aftermarket.
Took it off and replaced with a genuine Renault arm with ball joint and the wheel was straight again.
Having a tyre with a soft sidewall makes the steering vague. the factory fitted Michelin pe2 were solid as a rock compared to most tyres you can buy today.
