I think we've got to the bottom of my clunking / knocking noise. We reckon it's the shock absorber mounts. They did look a bit shot to me but the mechanic at that time thought it was OK.

Anyway, we tightened the bolt at the top of the strut and the noise has gone down a bit.  . Checked out the lower ball joint and anti roll bar but these seem OK.

Just wondering whether worn shock absorber mounts are responsible for vagueness in the steering? Will find out soon anyway.

But where is the best place to get shock absorber mounts from and would anyone have a part number please. (SWMBO is in the UK at the moment so she could collect and bring over).

Many thanks.

I phoned up Browns of Loughton last night and they stated the mounting is GBP 71 + VAT. Fortunately they seem to have them in stock here as well about same price. Hopefully pick up today and get them fitted. Will report back on tramlining and steering vagueness issues.
