    sounds like either the drop link bar has had it or as cossy mentioned the anti roll bar bushes are knackered but id check to see if everything under there is tight

    I would hazard a guess at the drop link myself, but as said above, check the strut top mount is fully tightened. Jack the car up and put a bar under the tyre then lever up. Lots of play at the top shouldnt be there
