Hi guys, the question is a bit vague but you might be able to help me out. When I turn corners, usually sharper ones, I can here a sound that I think is coming from something underneath the car I'd say just before the wheels on the side the car is leaning on. I was thinking it might be the busher's but the description from the How-To doesn't exactly fit it. The sound is like a "donk" sound if that makes sense. I don't know much about cars and I'm going to ask my Dad but any help would be greatly appreciated. Need more info just ask, and thanks.

Put in a new transmission mount and two new engine mounts... easily available from any Toyota dealer and any mechanic can fit. I did all the bushes in my 32 and still had the problem (same corner every morning on the way to work)... put a new transmission mount in and all was good.

have a good look at the lower control arm ball joint.

take the wheel off and check if you can move the hub up and down(ie: there is play in the ball joint)

Thanks guys, one of the back tyres just blew up on me on the weekend so I won't have the money for this for a few weeks. I'll take all the advice and let use know how I go when I get a chance to look at it.
