Trying to workout what this noise is

Yeah that's the ball joint. It will be a tight c**t. I usually use a big steel drift on it & lump hammer. Bashing it is the answer.

finally got it. Took a lot of bashing all over the place.
To me the bush seems ok? Could the bolt had been too loose.(it was pretty easy to undo)
I just expected the rubber to be all corroded and sh*t. Because as I said I've had some weird sh*t goin on. And after looking at this, it just doesn't seem enough to cause it all.

Don't hit the bolt/thread or the rubber.

Hit the metal that the bolt is going through, really hard with a lump hammer.
Even better if you hold a second hammer on the other side of the metal.

Woops you already got it off, by hitting the arm instead of the hub.

With a bigger hammer

You can buy replacements at most auto shops or Pedders. Its about $35 bucks. Part number is pbj285. Same as a Magna (smaller of the 2 Magna variants)

Do you have access to a vice? It's not really ideal to bash the new one in, it's best pressed in.

The news bushes are much easier to get in & out compared to the factory rubber. Again, if they're tight, use a vice.

Dunno about Supercheap, they're not so good with bits like that. They may be able to order it in though.
Have you got a Bursons or an Auto One nearby? Even a Pedders, as they could press it in for you.

i might source the parts then go to a mechanic and get them put in.
