Is it bushes I need to replace?

[mooney]

Car has just flown through its mot with no advisories.

The was a bit of a clunk from the front of the car and changed the wishbone bushes which made a big improvement.

However, there is still a bit of something up with the handling that doesn't mean it is as tight as it should be.

Its just gone over 70k miles- is there anything else I should look at changing?

I changed my ARB bushes as well. Because when I had the wheels off I could see they where worn. Mine where oval shaped and had passed an MOT 5 months before.

I needed front control arms on my Zc at 88k , very loose steering & knocking over bumps
If you take hold of your front wheel with one hand on left & one on right then give it a shake this should reveal any play .
Even better if you can jack the car up .
They're around £120 / pair BMW or £80 ECP

I had a clunking noise when ever steering at slow speeds, I torqued up the strut tower bolts / strut bars as they were all really loose and it has stopped making noises. I just have wobbly steering now as mentioned in another thread, going to change the ARB bushes as Machine Monkey suggested as the wish bone bushes were changed last week for its MOT.
