I think you have answered your own question in the last line of your post. I had 2 mates in the back of mine on sportlines and it looked like an elephant had sat in the boot...
Thanks for the feedback everyone. It survived the weekend round trip of 350 odd miles. Will look into it and get it sorted asap!
The most annoying thing is that myself and Rob reclipped the CV boot when we changed my lower balljoint. Then a local MOT place claimed it needed the clip changing...
Thanks for the offer Rob, unfortunately driving to Glos this evening hence the panic from me lol! Hopefully it won't fall apart then, I'll just try to resist the temptation to corner hard!
Dunn... Thanks for the reply! Just purchased a big tub of lith moly CV grease!

:bump:for this one.... Sorry people!! I have spent most of the evening searching "knocking full lock" and the conclusion I have come to is CV joint or top mounts.
I am still getting a loud knock/grinding noise when reversing on full lock. It is a repeated knocking, not just a one off knock and...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Much appreciated!

Change of plan Mark... I grew some...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Bit of a mixture regarding the arch gap...
Re: Pics inside - New wheels on (sort of) - Now to become a sheep or chase the hero s
Still a bit undecided myself!
Haha the "Arrowspeeds" were on there when I picked them up last week. Yoko P Spec 2's/Rainsports/V12 evo's will be going on come pay day! No place for cheap tyres although...
