Upper track control arm top bush

Hi i am chasing down a clunk from either side which i thought had been solved with the inner and outer tie rods being changed it wasnt, then the front tie rod ends it wasnt. Now after getting it up on ramps the only part i can see any movement in is the upper track control arm top bush. With a pry bar i can get a bit of lateral movement not much but noticeable and wanted to know if this is normal or if this could cause a clunk. Any help would be appreciated.

There is no noise when going over bumps etc it when braking slowly etc so its really stumping me.

The noise is definately from the front too as i have a squeak at the rear im chasing down too! Current 2007 TDV8 Vogue Buckingham Blue

Ours had what may have been a similar clunk - usually at very slow speed while changing from left lock to right lock or right to left.
the lower track control bushes / ball joints & steering ball joints all looked OK, but there was a fair amount of movement in the upper control rubber bush.
I think when the arm is loaded up via the steering, the arm contacts the subframe.
I changed the upper arms & the clunk stopped on both sides & as a side benefit the suspension is more refined when going over pot holes / speed bumps. Paul,
