fasten to the wishbone

you follow the suspension shock absorber to the bottom then you will have the drive shaft going through the disc then under that there are two bolts which fasten vertically holding the ball joint to the wishbone

What about the two bolts that hold the front calipers onto the ball joint, not sure how to describe them but they fasten vertically just below where the drive shafts push through the discs

These were loose on my xe and they made a hell ish clunking noise... sounded like the drive shafts were buggered.... sounded awful when setting off quickly and braking sharply

Ive mades sure all the Bolts are Tighten up and sounds like it coming from the drivers side...Not sure if it the outter CV as ive just replaced that less than 2 months ago..

How can i find out if its that

Right nearly everything sorted on the Xe but when i put my foot down u can hear a clunk when i do..
It was a Slight Tick when it started but its got worse..

And when i reverse and put my wheels to full lock the clunk sometimes ecos through the car its a real Disturbing sound..Ive Checked both sides Lower arm,Tie bar Ect and the all done up nice and tight..This is only when i set off as it like its catching on something..
Its had 2 new Inner Big block cvs,1 Outter Cv on the Drivers side and im running Gsi 22 spline shafts..:)

Any ideas..
