Hello all,

I've been having an issue with the NS front of my 2014 Fiesta ST180 since last August.
Going over bumps of any size results in a rattling sound that has progressively gotten worse over time. Yesterday it got to the point that a sharp left turn caused a small squeak.

I've also recently noticed that there is uneven tyre wear, however this is on the OS tyre. The pattern looks to be excessive toe.

I've ordered a new strut, shock and spring, and have recently replaced both sway bar links. Is replacing the strut likely to resolve this issue, or is it likely to be caused by a steering component?

Aplreciate any help, stay safe.
