Get someone to go to the side of the truck and rock the car. That's how I realised it was the drop links, you hear all sorts of clonks from the front end. After replacement..... silence.
Job takes less than an hour, Milner do them.

Hi Pete, rattly drop links are not going to fall off, most important give your wheel nuts a check over, that is about all you can do, I thought you were in Norfolk today? I will be racing tomorrow at Smallfields, I should not worry too much about Sally we saw nothing that was about to fall off, but wheel nuts can come loose, give the rears a good looking at for streaky marks radiating from the studs, if there are none and the nuts feel tight with a brace, then enjoy your trip, if you get any problems you have my mobile No, Rick
