suspension knocking noise

[collyirwin11]

well during the week had a look at everything underneath for the second or more time, gearbox mounts, engine mounts, cv joints, driveshaft seals, trackrod ends, droplinks, top mounts all to make sure they where ok even though i had replaced most of the above.

everything was spot on. checked the ARB and they looked fine but decided seeing as its a cheap and quick fix i would change them too, took the old bush out on passenger side, bush looked near perfect, no cracks, no deforming, so was a bit downhearted putting the new one in thinking problem will still be there. so annoyed i didnt even take it for a trial run, i just left it in the driveway for a few hours. low and behold when i did drive it, noise was gone. covered about 50miles tonight and it has definately gone.
so after spending around 200quid on parts, most of which would need replaced soon anyway, it turned out the problem was 6quid bushes. awh well. im just glad i fixed it and i have no more clunking.

cheers for the help people
