I would look at balljoint first then check spring not broke or strut topmount and antiroll bar. To be honest it could be any of these but they are fairl easily checked.  :smiley:

ARB link, check it. Was making awful clunking on mine, bolt was loose.
Golf MK3 1.8 auto and I didn't pay a grand for the "priveledge" :grin:, auto windows all round and a AC. Oh and I've got a luggage net you pricks!

Does that make my willy look bigger?

Oh yeah it's called Helda or something....
