These fatties are renowned for eating suspension bushes. I would start there first. Bish.

Best way to find out which suspension parts are worn / loose - Find an MOT station with a shaker plate, bung them a few quid to get underneath it and have a look, they will probably find the reason fairly quickly.

Driver the car onto a plate and it rocks the car side to side so the tester can check for any excess movement on bushes, suspension etc |

If no shaker plate is available then a good MOT tester will be able to use lever bars to find the wonky part, won't take him long. |

If one drop link has worn, the other will not be far behind, changing both is best, bars always come with bushes as far as I know. While you are at it, try to move the anti roll bar, if there is any movement by hand, then you probably need those bushes as well. |
