Get an alignment check.

Check the tyre wear you're getting.

Make sure your wheel nuts are tightened up properly.

just jacked car up tyres look fine no sign of uneven wear all nuts tight even bushes look ok tried pulling wheels back and forth got a clunking sound on the drivers side front seams to be going down the middle of the car :(

Check the wheels vertically, horizontally and diagonally. That should help decipher the problem.

Get soemone to move the wheel while you look for the source of the "clunk". I would start at the bottom ball joint, track rod ends and drop link.

Thanks for all your suggestions much appreciated .. took it for its MOT yesterday and even they couldnt find anything wrong with it passed with flying colors .. why are scoobys so confusing lol ..

If it was a seized caliper you would either have no braking from that wheel or more likely a red hot disc both of which would be obvious.

Got it sorted was the tyre on nearside front out of shape
