Ball joint?

I'd maybe jack it up and check for play in the wheel

if you've had the wishbones poly bushed then id say ball joint or Anti Roll Bar bushes

Might be mate you never know, just best to start small and check obvious things first before paying horrendous garage prices these days.

If you use the search bar you might be able to find some past posts about the same problem to get a bit more info

Did you have the top mounts etc fitted at a garage? If so you might be able to get it checked over for nothing if it was recent work
