Had this problem last week, turned out the droplinks, track control arms & ends had worn. Got all the parts from eBay member 'markicp' http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Import...__W0QQ_armrsZ1

I cant fault the man, Ive had excellent service and next day delivery to the Highlands.

You might also want to check your shocks, they can knock when theyre on there way out. also check your strut tops.

should be easy to check the ball joints etc. just jack up and check for any play.

good luck!!

ok cheers for the advise the reason i think its either the ball joints or drop links is because i recently changed the gearbox.and removed the ball joints and drop links to remove shafts so thinking maybe i have damaged something at some point.

Maybe you left something loose. Check that everything is tight.

hopefully its as simple as that!!!
