if you move the wheel side to side quickly they sometimes knock and sometimes when you set off, only way of telling if its them for sure is getting a pry bar in and having a wiggle have the small rubber gaitors been split?..
 
You'll not only get movement side to side but also up and down

Worth having a go round with a spanner making sure everything is nipped up

yeh but you need a good old wiggle with the bar to detect up and down movement.

there are rubber gaitors to protect the ball from getting dirt/crap in them, check everything is tight first, top mounts.. etc etc...

Mine did that, and it made a creaking noise.

I think the lower supension arm was only around £60 from Renault.
