Default Issue on car. Need some input please

Need some help and posting in here as hoping someone has had this problem before.

When i turn to the left i get a very horrible wobble that comes through the steering wheel.

The car has been sitting for a few months waiting for engine build.

the brakes where seriously rusted up and there was lots of brake wobble when i first started driving.

this has gone away and only happens now when i turn left.

i have removed the wheels and cleaned up the mating surfaces on wheels/hubs and checked calipers are tight etc.

I do have a metalic tapping noise when i hit small pot holes coming from the front wheels.

I suspect that either the brakes need skimming, the wheel bearing has gone or possible CV joint.

I dont want to be ripping them all out so im hoping someone can shed some light onto this

Massive thanks in advance

Yeah, sounds like it could be a ball joint - try jacking up that corner and seeing if there is any play in the ball joints

Cheers for input lads,

ive done around 400miles now and i listened to the wheels this morning while driving slowly and i can still hear the pad rubbing every turn on the disc so i think the discs need skimming for sure.

has anyone experienced this before though with the wobble. ive had the wheel off and had nothing jump out at me as loose.

want this sorted now as its begining slowly to do it in straight line
