Look on e-bay or something for a wishbone, and have both sides changed.
About £25 each.

i have two brand new drop links (oe spec) if it turns out to be them- they are probably the most common cause of knocking on the omegas

Most likely drop links - change these 1st as cheap to buy and easy to swap.  Assess then!
