Just out of interest how much did you pay for the wishbone bearings, my 2006 is250 started making a similar noise yesterday, mainly after steering / turning. Its booked to go to the garage tomorrow.
I've had the car a long time, it probably needs replacing sometime soon (next year or so).
Once i've repaired this problem what else should i expect to go? (ignoring braking components etc).
Recently had: Battery, alternator, water pump, spark plugs, 1 x door lock actuator.
Its had all the alloys refurbished 5/6 years ago as they were a state.
my previous car was a corolla, i felt it was time to move on but i didnt take any action, then the gearbox went and i spent the value of the car fixing it before selling it for very little. Dont want to end up in that situation again, but car prices now are so crazy....
