I found that on mine, the drop link was fine I just hadn't done it up tight enough (doh)

with the subframe bolts though there is a correct procedure which was a torque value and added 90 degrees of turn ? or 180 degrees ? whatever it is (really should replace with new bolts as they stretch) was that process carried out
I'll give it a good shove tomorrow during the day. After sitting in the back whilst my wife drove I'm still not 100% certain where the noise is coming from. Could be the back could be the middle.

New subframe bolts were supplied but I didn't leave the mechanic specific instructions so I have no idea how he torqued them.
