I'd jack the front of the car up with both wheels off the ground and turn the steering from side to side and twist and turn the wheels looking for something causing the problem. Look closely at every part of the suspension that moves - there should be a "witness" mark giving you a clue as to what is loose. From the sound of , it could be one or more of many things. Good luck.

fitzy2005 - From the post I'd say that Statement did the work himself though I could be wrong.

is it a rattley kind of noise, like when going over speed humps it rattles, if yes its the sway bar link pins, the washer busts on them and rattles all over the place...just have to buy a link pin kit which replaces the bars/washers/bushes and it will fix it right up
