    confused any ideas???

    eneining all, about 6 months ago i have knocking from the front so i changes both drop links, took for a drive and that knocking went but another different knock began, or was always there but the noise of the othere knock drowned it out, so looked at o/s wishbone which looked tired so changed it, took it for a test drive, knock was still there! lastly a relpaced arb bushes on both sides took for a test drive noise had gone, great! but now it seems to have returned, but as usual only over speed bumps/pot holes, i have done around 5,000 mines since chaging all this, getting slightly annoyed now! oh and i have checked rad mounts which are all ok??!. any ideas would be great.

    springs were replaced about 18 months ago, unsure if it has the rubber seat? dont really fancy stripping down to put them on, i dont think its that though, it sounds like the arb bush again but dont see how as i have only just changed them????

    well tommorow i will check front end again by removing drop links to check if still ok, only changes them 3,000 miles ago, went to vx yesterday and bought 2 more arb bushes, again only changed 3,000 miles ago, i also replaced at the same time o/s front wishbone. its weird though as it sounds just like it did last time before i changed the arb bushes, surely they cant have gone again. can they????
