Default Saph 4x4 klunk

Got a problem with my saph 4x4. When i go over a speed bump or now and again when driving i`m getting a klunk from the front end. Thought it could be bushes so replaced them with powerflex jobbies but said klunk is still there Going to get it on the ramps at my mates garage in morning, what should i be checking/looking for as its got my head done right in. Thanks

Front prop might be fouling the exhaust down pipe, check you engine mounts,

Hope you get it sorted mate.I would check the 19mm nut on the top of your engine mounts cause i checked mine when i first got my cossie and the drivers side was loose.
