any ideas guys
 
Judging by the state of that wheel it's not been cared for very well and has probably banged a kerb. Changing shocks would make **** all difference to a bent suspension rod.
 
I'd get it looked at first before spending money a 4 wheel alignment that might not be the problem. cheapest things first.
 
turns out this was a bent strut, but they quoted me 200 to sort out. can any one recommend a good cheap set of front struts ? or even coilovers if they were cheap enough ? or any one have a 2nd had set for sale ?
 
i cant see that you would only have a bent strut?, from past experiance you will find that your bottom arm will bend before affecting the strut, i would highly recomned having your car 4wheel aligned before you start spending on your car, they will be able to tell you where you have damage and most places i know of will only charge you once, first time they check the car and let you know whats wrong, you'll pay them then get your damaged bits sorted then have it checked and aligned. ive repaired far too many cars with similar problems and the strut is very hard to bend indeed and is highly unlikely that you will have only damaged that and nothing else, if your in the west yorkshire area then feel free to drop in and we can sort you a check out and any repairs you may require
