Edit; when doing sway bar links make sure the bolts are tightened under load or they will be lose as was the case with mine.
So I had a front end clunk for a while coming from all sorts of places when I used to stop then reverse there was a clunk going over bumps would clunk.
I ended up putting anti rattle shims in the front calipers and these reduced the clunking/knocking sound but then it seems to have come back but less.
I also changed the front sway bar links, D bushes, tie rod end and steering rack end and steering rack boot. This seemed to have worked but now after a couple of weeks the knocks are back. Sounds a bit different this time but when I shake the car pushing the roof it clunks. And now going over bumps does it as well.
Could it be that I haven't tightened the sawy bar links properly. I just read that it should be under load before tightening.
I purchased strut top mounts but have not installed yet.
Do rear sway bar links go bad too?
