Also check wishbone pivot bushes, rear pads (seized in calipers) and possibly steering idler bush.

Will do, didn't think of checking the rear pads but might make sense... seems to kinda twist as opposed to just pull at the front. thanks  :y

As said, check the wishbone bushes carefully... It's what I'd put my money on!!

don't forget to change both front wishbones at the same time
otherwise it will be worse

are the bushes changeable or is it a case of doing the whole wishbone?
