today set about swapping out the rear top mounts and drop links:

 

top mounts, I removed didnt have a rubber bushing in them like the ones I replaced - is that normal?

 

 - drop link, terrible experience.. no room to get a nut on the bolt, only way it seems is to remove the caliper for which I do not have the correct star/ spleen fitting .. nightmare!

Normally if the drop links are causing a problem, just cut them off with a small grinder.

sorted them, cut them off.. 

fronts and back..

fitted new ball joints, top mounts, and drop links...to then notice some muppet has fitted odd size front disks that do not fit the hub ans slip about, I think I have found what the rattle and clunk noise is.
