Ball joints are well easy to fit!!!!!! All you need is a ball joint extractor from Halfords and a Haynes manual. I am not joking about how easy this task is! | |

when turning, when the wheels are straightening back to normal (after ive turned) it clonks. Also when i brake fairly hard, it clonks as the car is almost stopped. apart from the noise, everything else seems normal. | |

When im stopped, if i put it full lock to the left, when i release it clonks really loud. The mechanic said its probably becuase i still have standard shocks and as the springs i have are much smaller, there is a bit of room, which is causing it to "clonk". It wasnt like it when i first had it lowered. It was after about 3 or 4 months. I live where there are loads of bumps on all the roads, which probably hasnt helped. | |

I'm almost sure that it is the lowering springs that are causing the problem.Maybe they were not fitted right and now they are moving when you turn your steering wheel left/right.Think they don't sit properly in the shock absorber. | |

Could be the exhaust clonking the rear axle. Between the backbox and centre silencer. Mine did that without lowering. | |
