    Struts on there way out???

    I've replaced just about everything on the front of the car which is connected to the suspension and its still clonking. I have changed the wishbones, drop links, springs, CV joints, brake disc's & pads, checked and re-tightened all the bolts and its still clonking when driving over bumps, stop, start driving and turning. I had a look at the struts and one has a little grease/oil on the top when its jacked up and the other seems to be ok with no movement. I've looked at the anti-roll bar and it has no movement on it and was very light when the wishbones and drop links were fitted.

    So, what do you think i should do now?
