Advice On Clunking Noise Needed!?!

Hi all.

Been having problems with clunky/wobbly type sound from front end for a while now. It's mainly when going over a bump etc...

Did my research and changed my FCAB's for Meyle HD ones and it seems to clunk even more!

Am I right in thinking it may be the drop links? Is there anything else I could check for?

If it is drop links, can I literally just jack the car and swap out relatively simply or is a ramp needed? I've read about the procedure needing full weight on car when tightening up that's all.

All advice and help very much appreciated, it's driving me insane!!!

Thanks guys!

Yeah...well, jack it up and get another jack under the wheel to take the downwards pull off the drop link and try it then.

Im on my 3rd e46 and everyone of them i have had to change Control arms and control arm bushes, but never on any of them were the drop links worn.

The front control arm rear bushes (lollypop bushes) and the bushes on the control arms are usually the culprits

Have now had Meyle HD FCAB'S, Wishbones AND droplinks. Couldn't recommend more to anyone!!! Brilliant results, ultra smooth driving now!

Many thanks guys for advice!

(I found parts cheap in some places, let me know if anyone wants to know some places to look)
