You can see them, easy to pop off the arb if you undo the droplinks. either top or bottom.

I never expected them to tell you what the problem was from having an MOT done. But, at least you have the peace of mind its safe enough to drive.

Top mount bearings been changed?

When exactly does this clonking occur?
