Photonic thanks for the reply fella,

I don’t get any clunkng clicking or vibrations when driving on flat surfaces/cornering or going over speed humps, or up and down kerbsides, the cv boots look intact also. But like most of the comments made here I get the noise which can be described as a clattering/clunking noise only on moderately rough roads, similar to someone under the wheel arch with a sack full of cuttlery having a party.

I will keep in mind the points about the car having to be jacked up and hence no weight on the front suspension in order to remove SBL , only question is, is there a bolt head on the back of both ends of the SBLs? I have felt around the back and it feels like plastic???
