Heavy knocking/rattle from front end

[Rmachines]

Hi, i have done new top mounts, new bottom bushes on the wishbones, and the antiroll bar drop links are fine.

Any one think of anything else that will klonk over bumps?  Its doing my head in now, popped it up on the lift today, couldnt fault anything!   But theres a heck of a rattle over pot holes, its deffo a suspenssion thing,  like knackard top mounts... but not.

There is no play up and down in them now like there was before i did them!   Must be though,  otherwise it could be the shocks i supopose.

Balljoint?

Engine mounts?

Is it from a particular side of the car?

[Rmachines]

Yea its more from the drivers side, you can feel it through the steering wheel, the ball joints are all good and tight.  It clonks over speed bumps and rattles/knocks over pot holes, The engine mounts look fine.   Im pretty sure its the suspension, i just cant find what part

Sounds like knackered shocks to me.

Yea, i think your right, cant fault the top mounts, and the shocks feel very tired. 

£108 for two stock front dampers,  £112 for a full lowering kit... Shes getting slamed!

Took the words out of my mouth, tired shocks I mean not the £112 for a silly lowering kit...if you go to low they will break
