Default Clunking noise front end 92 XJS V12

I'm making great progress with my 92 XJS (starts, runs, shifts and stops great) but I'm getting a clunking noise from the front end. I put on new Bilstein shocks and new tires. I suspect it's worn bushings but I'd appreciate any advise from other XJS owners who have solved the clunking.

Thanks guys.

Stephen

Worn/loose anti-roll bar links can make a racket....usually more of a rattle than thunk/clunk, though.

My experience is shocks can clunk if the lower bolts aren't *very* tight. Tighter than you'd think they'd need to be.

The diagonal brakes in the engine bay can clunk if not very tight

Loose wheel bearings can give a clunk as well


Cheers
