could be... also have a look at the antirollbar bushes... i used to have the same problem and finally got this.

try 'climbing' over a hump (for instance a small roundabout)... making different ride height between left and right... if u can hear the noises, then it could be the ARB bushes

by the way i did replace new droplinks all round at the same time.

As above most likely droplinks or ARB bushes
another thing is the top strut hats when worn they can make clunking sounds and affect handling too
I replaced mine not too long ago had same issue as you but also did droplinks etc also

nah the clunky noise is only from the rear of the car it is like the suspension is goin up then coming down and making the noise but when i jack the car down their is creekying noises coming from the front and the back when the wheels touch the ground like it is taking the weight and when i go down my drive way it creeks. sometimes it creeks when i turn

Gen Mitsi part is MR197005.

you could've edited your post instead of double posting! (to be honest i just want a higher post count)

No, the rears are different. They are an 18mm bush. If you go through the suspension thread stickied in the top of the Technical / Performance section, you'll find every bush part number in the car. Its about page 4 or 5 of the thread I think...

You ignoring my advice again mate?

spf1344 - 16k for front sway bar bushes
spf2004 - 18k for rear sway bar bushes

Buy from Fulcrum (number listed above) - they will be cheaper & better quality being polyurethane.
