Pete, it`s probably your dentures. I didn`t believe my wife when she told me Davey Jones was dead, then I saw her face.

Beg your pardon ! I am very much alive, and scuba diving in Tenerife at present
One thing you might check is whether there is enough clearance in the lower shock mounts, allowing the metal eye to contact the shock mount when the rubber bushings are subject to bump loads....

The upper wishbones can wear quite badly at the hub connection, mine went oval after 18 months and caused a clackety clack noise over bumps. The replacements have rose joints. Mine is a zetec setup to Sierra hubs but the principle is the same.
Hope this isn't your problem as the bits are not cheap.
Good luck.
="elansprint71 Thanks Sean, I'll do that.
Did you hear the one about the Irish scuba-diver....?
