Lets say im on a roundabout turning tightly right but with a little speed but not massive amounts just enough to push it, i get a clicking noise from the front right side/in front of me area what could this be, also seems more prominent when i am making the turn and then back off the throttle and the load on the car shifts???

Secondly my car pulls to the left, i can let go of the steering wheel and it drifts steadily to the left then all of a sudden it will just pull quickly to the left, possible cause maybe wishbone bushes on the left???

Could these 2 issues be related?

Sounds like CV joint on the right. When did you last get the tracking done?

Not had the tracking done for a while and i know it needs all re doing, even when i had a 4 wheel alignment done it still pulled to the left but acceptably, its just the whole slight drifting then bam its pulling violently tht has me worried.

Ok so if it is the CV joint would it show up on an MOT as nothing has been noted at 2 different garages?

What can i check for and would it be inner or outer?

Probably wouldn't show up on an MOT unless the boot is knackered.

Outer CV.

Turn tight in an empty car park and see what happens. Might be worth checking the grease in the CV, and maybe repacking it.

Yarp. You can buy CV grease at motor factors.
