    £5 says it is the tuning forks.  Is it a sort of click/rattle a bit like snooker balls rattling in the tringle when you set them up?

    Never herd of the tuning forks which part is that

    These are a well known issue as they chemically weld due to steel/alloy corrosion.  Same with the coffin arm and toe link bushes on the rear suspension.  I purchased a magnetic induction heater for around £180 to do mine.  Worked a treat.

    Unless the drop link is suspect best to leave it in place unless you need to remove the shock from the upright casting.  All other work, even top mounts and bump stops, can be done by disconnecting the drop link at the ARB end.

    Thanks mate I really had no idea , but with enough heat they will come out , I should of known better as steel and aluminium never go together well, and the noise is still  there so I'm going to change the anti roll bar bush and I know that's an easy job 

  3. Hi all I've had abit of a noisy front end not much just something worn so changed my track rod ends which was a easy job but just to warn people if yr going to attempt to do the drop links the very top bolt can decide to not want to budge, the issue is that the drop links hold the top of the wheel carrier for the bottom of the suspension the nut comes off just fine , if you haven't got anything to heat it up I wouldn't bother doing it yrself,  each side took hours of hammering and constantly giving it bangs with the biggest hammer you can find ..
