Galaxy 2.3 Trend Steering

Hi! 
I have bought at Ford Galaxy 2.3 Trend (it is registered in 2006, but I am pretty sure it is from 2000)
It is the "mini-camper" version of the Galaxy with a possibility to open the roof with a tent.

Anyone have a wiring manual or anything that relates to the car? 
I have a hard time finding anything on it.

Additionally, there is this sound from the right front wheel. It is clunking sometimes when braking or turning. 
Is it a common thing that can be fixed? Worn out bearings? suspension?

    Never seen such a thing here in the UK

    Please post photos so we can see the model

    Difficult to say without sitting in the car myself. It could possibly be a worn CV or a broken coil spring and just about anything inbetween.

    Not common on a car a few years old but on something that is potentially 24 years old things break.

    Thanks for reply. 

    It is an old ***** car, and I am rather sure that it is the bearings now.

    anyway, here is a picture of the tent

    I've never seen anything like that on a Ford Galaxy here in the UK 👍

    That noise sounds quite bad, I don't think it's a wheel bearing.

    It could be the car is objecting to being contaminated with foreign parts 🤣

    Haha, most def. They probably got the wheels cheap somewhere

    I am very concerned with this now.. 
    I am taking it to the professionals. 

    And for the other thread that is ongoing atm, the aircondition system on this one is also not working.
