Clunking Noise nsf

[golf newbie]

Bit stumped tbh so i hope you can help..

I changed the front top mounts on my golf,did have a clunking noise before but only on full lock but wasnt as bad as it is now..

I have assembled the front strut correctly i rechecked several times lol

Is there any checks i can do to see what is making the noise if its a ball joint etc..

hope thats makes sense

Thanks

Jack the front up and see if there is any movement in the wheel.

Check wishbone bushes, aswell as ARB, make sure it's not loose.

Could be a cv joint

Update..

I jacked the front of the car checked all the rubber joints no movement on both sides,checked spring was on correctly.

Took top plates off while car was in the air and retighten them and the noise went..

Dunno what i done bit stumped tbh..i did tighen the top plate last time when it was on the ground could that be what i did wrong..??

Thanks

Should be tightened with the wheels on the ground.

+1 Should be tightened with suspension compressed.
