So it's a FWD....Any work been done on the brakes recently..?? Steering wheel pointing straight ahead..?? Are all the tyres the same size..?? All ABS sensors and their wiring ok..?? All reluctor rings ok, not badly rusted or damged..??

Check the wiring especially near the rear axle, the wires can break.

Rear engine mount..?? The FWD's only have a left trans mount, right engine and lower gearbox support...wasn't aware of any rear mount.
