Cracked Nylon Bush on one side could explain the 'knocking' on track.
Original powdercoat had worn away so reduced clamping force where the bush meets the ARB.
Original Nylon Bushes as they came off.
Rust! Drop links had to be removed with a grinder as the nut and thread had perished.

New Nylon bushes £25 (in Lotus parts sale, rrp £80). Cleaned up original inserts.

Rust removed, treated, then painted with POR-15. Used the section in the centre of the ARB where the original powdercoat was untouched to measure how tight the bushes should be. 5 coats of paint did the trick.
Bushes coated in Moly grease, and fitted with new clamp bolts. New ARB drop-links from elise-shop.com £60.
