Freelander 1 Most likely reason for suspension clunking noise?

The Freelander makes a knocking / clunking noise on the drivers side when going over bumps.

Just wondering if anyone might be able to give me a pointer as to what to check so I can diagnose what needs doing.

Vehicle has 130k on it and it's a TD4

Thanks

Anti roll bar bushes and or drop links, or strut top bearing mount

Ok. Thanks. I did the strut top bearing mounts 18 months ago so hopefully not that.
Regarding the other two you mention. Is there an easy way to test?

Roll bar bush, visual examination
Drop link, remove one end and wriggle, check the ball joints for play.

It sound like you're having a bad run with your Landies at the mo. I don't think this can be put down to build quality - its a TD4 F1 - so its between 10 and 15 years old.

hi mate,yes you are right 12 year old freelander,127,000 miles
on the clock,disco v8 series 2 same mileage as above & i am
driving round in a neighbours renault megane,ive had seven
landys & the best one was a 1972 lightweight,it took me the
best part of 4 years to restore,but i loved it, only because it did
not have all the modern sh.te to add to things to do on it,maybe
i will knock the above 2 in & get a non complicated series one.
land rover take a bow for tc,hd,abs,srs & all the other useless
stuff over the years.
