Links are quite straightforward to do.

The howtoo is in this lot somewheres...   :y

No need for the antiroll bar bushes unless you have proved they are to blame by use of a prybar etc...  Its most prob the links.....

Its a doddle to change the links, the only hard bit is the arkward nut at the top that can be a spanner all the way off.
Best give it a dose of WD the night before.
Doing mine again today and changing the just over a year old aftermarket clone crap ones with genuine VX/GM ones. I should have took that advice in the first place!
Anti-roll bar bushes very rarely need changing and even then must be done from the top! Noticed that when I had the radiator and bagpipes out! You will probably find that when you have done the links that the knocks will disappear.
