Radius arm bushes !!! was created by Gromit
Well what a pig of a job changing the radius arm bushes is !!!. Two of the bolts had welded themselves to the inner sleeves of the old bushes , had to cut the bolt head and threads off with an angle grinder to get the arms off the car. Need two new bolts now !!!!!!

Drilled the rubber out then used an old screwdriver to drive out the metal sleeves !

I bet this is the issue I am having recently... Braking pulls it to the left, was going to strip the brakes down as I presumed it wasnt braking much on the right hand side.

I will inspect the bushes first as i have noticed a "clonk" recently aswell.
