Hello to all!!!
My HSE develop a noise/ clunk on the frontt right wheel .
It sounds like a damage drop link, but only when i turn to the left, only then it clunks!!! On a straight line, over bumps not a single sound. !!!!!
The drop links are new 1 month
Ball join the same like a month too
There are no problems on the steering either
The tire doesnt show any signs of miss alignment
Any ideas
ManyThanks

Has the anti roll bar moved sideways making it contact the strut?

Otherwise suspect the suspension strut top bearing and / or the rubber mount in the top mounting. I have a creaky noise on one side front. Cured it for a while with some silicon spray but it is back. Think the shock is moving a bit in the top mount.

NOISE!!!! and the word Freelander =£$£$£$£$£$ but not the Freelander one. Your problem fixing it yourself sounds like a $100 fix​

Helloooo
Well nothing wrong with anti roll bar was checked and now as some poli bushes.
the top bearing was replaced 1 year ago (Febi) and they are fine.
THis is very strange, it sounds like a drop link but only when you turn to the left!!!!

Ok. You didn't say

Wheel bearing ? Disc catching on back plate?
Tyre catching plastic liner on full lock? Play in rack?

Its like the clunk of a damage drop link
Imagiine you make a lefft turn over bumps and you have the clunk No bearing, nott plastic if it was a the back plate iiit would not be a clunk , or tyre.
THe strange part is its only tturning to the left and its just the right wheel
