Hi gasfitter,have a quick look at the front tyres.If there is uneven wear on the tyres i.e. to the inside or outside then this will most likely be worn wishbones.
If your tyre wear is even throughout both tyres then get the geometry checked,the previous owner may have kerbed the car.
I hope this helps.

.... also air bag light is on  .......


You need a code reader of sorts on your car to determine the airbag fault. Even if you knew what the fault was & fixed it, you'd still need the airbag light reset  ............ it won't go out by itself.  Thumbs Up!
