right for a while now ive had a bit of a "clunk" in the steering when going left. after doing quite a bit of driving it gradually got worse and now it seems to sort of stick instead of going back straight if you catch my drift also makes some nasty creaky noises lol was thinking the ball joint? also heard something about uj? any help would be appreciated

1.1 I take it? Yes get the Universal Joint checked. I had an identical problem in my old 1.1. Wouldn't correct the steering after turning. Felt like I was turning a bus and not a fiesta. Lots of noise coming from it as it gradually seizes up. quick fix £50 rebuild on it at a garage and that sorted it. Sadly mine got written off shortly after that so can't say how long the rebuild lasts but the person who I gave it to tells me it is still going strong  I miss that car it had no rust at all and was almost 18
