Title: Quick Fiesta question..........
Post by: Crazycarzowner on 28 November 2015, 16:22:42

When turning left I'm hearing a clicking noise possibly coming from the front right hand side, would I be right in thinking CV joint???
Also noticed steering slightly wandering to the right???
Could I be on the right lines???

Clicking and CV joint yes but it shouldn't affect steering.

Sounds like CV
Lower arms rubbers fail quickly
Check also for play in the rack if you have some wandering.  Don't jack the car up, get someone to rock the steering and see if the track rod is bouncing.  Some of the internals on these racks are made of plastic.
