the amazon has been making a clunk as it turned into corners, the car came with new progressive springs, I had put new shocks in, thinking it might be the sway bar ( standard ) I have just fitted some urethane bushes, the rubber bushes were in reasonable cond but a little wide and tight so they may have been binding the bar.
And indeed the new urethane bushes have fixed the clunk, may the car go around corners nicer etc etc.
Whats strange is that the steering is now a lot lighter even at parking speeds, good news but why?
