Thanks again...

Should've mentioned that all ball joints, bushes, arms, springs and dampers are less than 2 years old... the noise has only recently started.

I'll give everything a damn good check & tighten as suggested though.

@ Acrturus: thanks for the suggestion - I'll also check this out (can't hurt after all!)

I'm thinking that it might be easier to pass the ball onto a local garage: always easier to diagnose using a 4 post lift... I really don't like being beaten though.

I'll have a look-see this weekend and update this thread with any results.
