make sure you get everything tightened up before going and spending big bucks, that was the advice i got here, i got clunking over bumps and potholes etc so thought it was the sway bar link rods(quite cheap and easy to do) then later on could make out a slight tick noise on braking and noticed the anti rattle clips were missing....

Thanks for the info. I will be getting under the car on the weekend to check.. Only just looked up and reading at the moment, but this thread explains exactly what I am hearing.

Thanks again,
