Well it wasn't the shocks!! Best way to describe the noise is metal on metal banging. Like it would if something was loose or broken and hitting into something else. It's not a quiet noise and can be felt in the footwell and steering. It got a lot worse when we removed the arb!! It happens...

Well it's now in my friends workshop. It's not looking like it's a bush. It's unlikely to be the diff as in 4wd (ON GRAVEL) turning in figures of 8's doesn't give any diff like noise. He's thinking maybe the front driveshaft (Axle to you guys), Shock, or something else! He didn't have time to...
