On my Fiesta ST, when making a left turn, the steering 'jerks', as in it feels its shooting to the left, its fine making a right turn, and usually only occurs over 50kph, the left side of the car did hit a kerb at a bit of speed, damaged inner/outer tie rod, racking mounting bush? solutions?

thanks

    without inspection it hard to say,if it is a consistant noise then it could be CV joint. If it only clunks once then possibly lower ball joint.

    hmm, what i discovered today is on left turn if I blip the throttle or floor it, it seems to pull around a lot, whereas if I just let it coast around the bed theres only a very slight jerk, I wonder is it the drive?
