Anyone elses near side shaft go into the gear box at an angle from the hub rising up into the gearbox???

Also got a knocking noise, and a feeling through all pedals. Diagnosed it as my steering rack, but could the suspension the car is on have an affect with the extra weight from the engine, as ive still got my old gmax -60mm kit on, as i still havn't got my coilovers from rimstyle yet!

You mean these two bolts here mate? There fine no knocking from them!
