Noise from front suspension

[Celes]

I get a ?clunking? noise from the front when I drive off and sometimes a weird rattle when driving on rough roads (i.e. every road ). What's the problem now? Replaced drop links, tie rods + tie rod ends and wishbones not even 6k miles ago. The springs were checked 6k ago and tested fine, so did the shock absorbers...

Also, there is a horrible knocking noise coming from the back. Would that be bad upper control arms?

Anyone?

Mine's doing this. Running out of ideas as to what it might be. Worn suspension bushes? anti-roll bar? Need to get it up on ramps.

There are two obvious things you haven't changed yet, so it could be those: for the front it could be the anti-roll bar bushes, and at the rear it could be the upper control arms. Hold the rear tyre at the top and see if it moves in and out a little.

Celes, the clunking when driving off is probably a worn CV joint.

Is the clunking from the front end definetly suspension related or could it be radiator mounts

Will replace the ARB soon. I've tried to move the rear tyre and it won't budge. I'll try again tomorrow.

Thought about that too...not for long though cos it's really expensive to repair

Haven't considered this but when I flushed the coolant 10k ago the radiator mounts looked ok...
