Just wondering if worn out lower control arm bushes would cause a wheel, or should I say surrounding suspension components to move while braking.. After inspection, clearly some bushes are going to need replacing, but to narrow down to which are causing the issue.

Reversing the car down the driveway yesterday I've slowly applied some brake when I've felt this issue coming from the front passenger side wheel, then had someone watch & confirm it.

I'm in the process of having the car ready for a roadworthy, so I'm needing to rectify this problem ASAP!!

Any help appreciated.

get someone to turn the steering wheel back and forth and look at the steering rack to see if it moves.(wheels on the ground not jacked up)

when you turn a corner, and let go of the steering wheel, does it self centre, or do you have to "steer" it back to centre/straight.

After ripping everything apart, nothing looks or seems to be wrong, so having the discs cut today and fitting some new pads (was going to anyway) and it does clunk when it happens, so hoping it is just a disc problem then, hanging to jump back in the drivers seat again!

Also, no problems when turning or driving, the steering does self center like it should.

I'll post up an update tonight when everything is back together, fingers crossed.

Cheers guys.
