    I have done the same as vr929 replaced everything the the front end down to the rack, struts, bearing and bushes i did get a wheel alignment day after work was done. the bloke said that it all looks great aligned well car drives sweet, let go of the wheel drives straight... now when i stand hard on the brake before a corner thats when i get a loud sinlge knock every time as the car dives down off the brake round the corner on the power and a small knock as the car straightens and levels. i didnt have this before the work was done i've gone all over everything i have done and it all looks good and tight... it's got me stumped
