It's most likely the link bar between the shock and anti roll bar. Quite cheap to fix.
BTW writing in capitals is considered shouting and may be why you have not had many replies.

Thanks for the advise on capitals.I have already changed both link bars but the problem is still there.

Hi,
got similar trouble with a 96 ex-police car. Garage tells me it the callipers that have worn where the shoe's slide. they tried to make shim's, but did'nt last long. guess only replacing the callipers will do.

Hi there, thanks for the info Dave. Will have to have a look at the calipers but dont think that is the problem as the pads seem to be fairly snug in the calipers. I think the problem could be something as simple as the c/v joint possibly. Will let you know if I have any joy.
