Put the car back together checked all the tourque ratings and all.

I replaced everything on the front end except for the hubs the CVs / drive shafts, calipers and the origional wheels.

Went to go for the first drive and it just feels unstable, and seems to skid, i think there is a nocking sounds as well ehen turning. not sure if the new brakes are just grabing the wheel for the skidding, could it just be a wheel alignment or is something worse happening, anyone have any ideas?

You should get it aligned at the garage mate
how did your drive shafts look when you had it dismantled where they floppy
although it does sound like somethings not tight enough can you get a vid posted of the noise

My 2p worth
My guess
front suspension cups & spacers fitted wrong on Suspension top refits ?....that would cause this problem ...it's easy done...
Are you 100% sure it's correct ?

Bloody difficult to find what's causing it unless you take out everything you've done Crazy

no i am not 100%,
all i did was get the top mount in a bag and secure the bolt through it the right way up.

ARB bushes look fine, i would like to replace them but add it to a weekend project or next years list.
i swear that said ABS bushes first and it had me thinking for a bit.

just doing some really basic research, i think my main problem is steering and something that is quite obvious in the problem / solution scenarios is i might just need some power steering fluid.

but that would not fix the clunk and locking of the wheels.

the entire top mount came pre built, i dont think it had part 9 possibly didnt have 7 either, the bottom rotates fine no problems and it sits perfectly into the mounting holes on the body.

I have SPAX RSX suspension if this makes a difference, the piston just goes through the top mount and secure with the bolt it came with. i'll find my other post that has the suspension in it.

in motion the wheels seem to drag along the ground, since we have the brains trust on this one,
the pads i received for my VIN had cables running off them whereas my old ones didn't should i just cut them off? for now they are tucked away and not interfering with anything.
