I went to the garage friday, he jacked my car up to have a look at the engine. He then showed me how wobbily the wheel was, he said its the bearings. A few friends of mine have said its the ball joint or the track rod ends.When im driving it makes like a tapping noise and pull to the one side, I think its only the 1 wheel. Any ideas??

It could be either of those suggestions, I would go with what the mechanic said, My Renault 5 turbo had that prob, Replaced the hub & bearing & it was fine after.
However its been a drive shaft on one of my other Nova's, When you go round corners a banging noise, Had to hold the clutch round corners alot!
Get it done though ASAP mate, If its a bearing the wheel & hub could actually come off!
