Not if you've spent a small fortune on other parts before finding the 'real' culprit

True but now you know those other areas are solid now. Silver lining and all that

Make sure the drop links are done up properly tight. If not, they can still generate noise.

final update, the problem was the front arb, all the wheel alignment and steering problems where down to a worn out arb.
the bushes were still attached, but the bar had become weak and twisted easily.
so if your chasing a knock on the front end and the car is close to 12yrs old get the front arb changed.
