Knocking/clunking noise front n/s v70

Hi all,

I've had a knocking/clunking noise from the front n/s of my 2005 v70 2.4 petrol for about 6 months now, I've also had a lighter more frequent rattle/knock.

The loud knock/clunk was quite infrequent initially but then one day there were a few really bad knocks so put it in the local garage. They looked at it, put it on shaker plate etc but found nothing wrong.

It carried on doing the loud knock/clunk every now & then and this week I noticed I had a torn cv boot on the affected side so put the car in for a new boot & to investigate the knocks.

They said the cv joint looked really dry/knackered so advised a new one as well as the boot so they did that. They also advised new anti-roll bar links could be causing the lighter knock/rattle so have also renewed those.

The more mild, frequent knock/rattle has now gone but the loud knock/clunk remains the same!

I've inspected the gromits on the wishbone/anti roll bar etc and all appears ok. The track rod end ball joint also looks good.

Any ideas as I'm now £275 down & not much further forward!!

Cheers
