Why don't you get your hand round the low ball joints, track rod ends, rear front arm bushes with an assistant swinging the steering madly half a turn left to right and back while you do it to take up the slack. ANY play and they need to be replaced.

Grab the links or use a bar to test the ARB links with the car front end on axle stands.

Better to actually replace what is faulty than guess.

So it seems to point to the droplinks, yes? I think they fairly cheap to buy, anyone know the part no/ price? Need to sort this bloody clunking sound out, it was quiet for a while when i had the new arb fitted but it's back worse then before now. cheers.
