So thats what the noise was...

[Smidge]

Symptoms:

Loud clunk under brakes, steering wheel changing direction on lift off on throttle, terrible handling, much pot-hole agony.

Will be swapped when replacements arrive, don't really care if NVH is increased, i prefer my control arms connected to the rest of the car!

Having control arms connect to rest of the car does have advantages.

First I've seen one punch the centre out like that.
