This was indeed my problem and the hex bolt was tight but I needed to tighten the outer bolt and yep this was my solution, hold the hex still whilst tightening the outer nut - 3 years or more I have been putting up with knocking suspension without finding the root cause.
I am so happy, without this forum and the wealth of knowledge within its members I would have been up the creek without a paddle on more than one occasion!
Just took her out for a test drive and she's quiet and smooth as can be - it actually feels weird as I was so used to the horrible knocking.
Baxter - thanks my friend, it was only out by half a turn!

It was much simpler in the end - merely holding the inner hex head in place whilst tightening the outer nut with a ring spanner - I suffered several years knocking for the sake of a half-turn of a nut!!! Feel a tad silly now but as long as it got me there I'm happy lol.![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
