Default Saph cos steering clunk!

My 4x4 cos has a clunking noise on the front end when I go over a bump or sometimes when a turn the wheel in either direction, sounds like balljoint movement but much louder. Has new balljoints, polybushes all round new strut top rubbers az the poly 1s were 2 piece nd thought they may have been the culprit. Any thoughts on what it may be?? Cheers Steve

Had both struts out mate springs looked to be sitting ok, shockers are koni adjustables and when a first got the car they used to weep a lil bit round the adjustment screw but they still seem to function ok.
