hiya mate, i had this problem reacently and it was due to one of the bushes on the front passenger suspention arm, once i got that fixed it stopped but it cost quite alot to get fixed because its easier and probably cheaper to get a whole new suspention arm. im not saying go get one straight away but it might be a good idea to let someone have a look or something. have you hit a kurb or something quite hardly recently or anything?

Nope wasn't that, it was the universal Joints within the steering column!

mine happened not long before i sold it, i explained it to the guy and he said he'd sort it so i never had to fiddle with it, just put up with it for a short while!
