Steering/front suspension jumping

Hi, just recently I have noticed that when on car parks etc and on full or near full lock the front end jumps a little, almost as if it's trying to go straight on. I have jacked up the front end and noticed that there seems a lot of movement in the bottom wishbone bushes when moving between full lock and back a little? Is this likely to be the bushes or is this a normal thing with these,

If it is the bushes where is best place to source them from and do I just do bushes or change both arms complete?

Thanks Rob

IMHO I would change the complete arms as quite frequently the originals have to be cut off due to the bolts being sized.
have also been told that in some cases where bushes have been changed you will be returning for the same job after a short while as seeing that the bushes are pressed in they never seem to be as good a fit after being replaced.
Find a decent indie with the capability of carrying out 4 wheel alignment as this will need to be done if new arms are fitted.
You will be amazed at the difference having had this work carried out. 2010 RRS, TDV8

Ok thanks, there's no banging or knocking at the minute so I'm going to try and last until better weather 😀

If you drive very slowly and dab on the brakes you should hear knock,, a sign that the front lower arms / bushes are worn. Might also be worth having a good look at the wheel bearings while your busy as these don't last forever either
