Have you changed any of the bushes since you bought the car, chances are that being a 98 car most of them are likely shagged. Especially check the big on the connects the radius rod to chassis, very common fault. To test if its shagged, get a mate or someone and do some slow quick braking, eg 20km/h to stop with full braking force, if the front wheels move in the tyre arch a fair distance, like more than an inch, they are shagged.

Honestly get a suspension check done by Fulcrum, one at Stafford and I find them to be very honest and very good. Then you can get GSL to supply Fulcrums Super-pro gear and Fulcrum can install them. Super-pro is quality gear at a good price.

Yes, but wording it that way is a bit harsh...

Ok so just get a suspension check and whatever needs replacing use the super pro gear from gsl. The fulcrum on fairfield rd is heaps closer to me

Fair enough, I just saw Brisbane in your location, and I use the Stafford one, I just don't know where the others are. Book it in, the check is free. But like I said if all the bushes are original, then be prepared for a list that need doing, but it is a lot cheaper to get them all done at once.
