Hi All smile
After hitting a kerb in an 06 UK ford fusion on the LHS a while back I have noticed some outside edge camber wear, slight oscillation through the brake pedal when braking, possible suspension noise, and pulling to the left that is exacerbated by road camber and barely / not noticeable if the road is completely flat. I had the wheel alignment checked shortly after the collision but it came back that alignment was fine. I Have had a look and can't see any obvious damage and have given everything a shake and can't feel any noticeable free play.

I always like to fix things myself but have very limited experience with suspension and steering and I am struggling to diagnose this and so wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

I am thinking I probably need to concentrate on the control arm, possible bent spindle or worn / damaged wishbone bushes / ball joints. Anything else? Also any suggestions for quick checking / diagnosis of these bits?

Sorry for the essay.
Thanks in advance.
Ben
