Ok so I fixed one problem but created another!
I was getting a fairly loud knock when going over bumps in the road, got the car up in the air and all the joints were fine, ARB bushes were ok as were the track rods so I figured it to be a top mount issue as I had this on my MK2 Ibiza.
So I replaced the top mount bushes and bearings as well as the ARB ones as I had the car in the air and a spare set laying around. The knock has gone away and the whole car seems to handle a billion times better than before, however, when I turn the steering when stationary toward the lock it creaks, it sounds to me like rubber rubbing against metal, could it be that I haven't tightened the top mount bolts properly? It didn't make this noise before so I am assuming that is what it must be!

Thoughts?
