check your sway bar link bolts they have a tendancy to come loose on GU's

could it just be coincidence and a spring moving on its seat? what size tyres are you running?

also, radius arms bolts, are they all tight, i know my old mans GU has a click if one of the radius arm bolts come loose

Check where the radius arms mount into the chassis. I just popped the ring out of the chassis on the weekend and had a look at the drivers side to find it was cracked as well making a sort of clicking/clunking noise. And before people say it was the 3rd's radius arms it was happening before I put them in. The factory welds on the chassis are crap. I've found bubbling in the welds all over the chassis. Can't believe it would come out of the factory like that. :roll:
