Sorry for the crappy title, I'll try to explain it a bit better here. Whenever I turn left starting from a complete stop or really low speed, I get a thud from the left wheel if I accelerate moderately. I'm not sure if it is the wheel but that is where it feels like. I just got new tie rods on both tires and there is no play now in either direction. However, the sound is still there. I have to accelerate really slow on roundabouts and u-turns due to this coz it sounds like something might break.
I have play in my steering wheel too and it does not return to the center after turns. Lets say it only returns to the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions depending on the direction of the turn. And I would say the wheel feels quite loose between those positions too. I read something in previous posts that it has something to do with front strut mounts and steering bushes. I had the mounts and bearings replaced a little while but it hasn't helped with the issue. I'd like to know which bushes might help. Is it all the front suspension bushes in general or are there any particular ones related to the steering wheel issue?
