When going round a left hand corner, if I hit a lump or pothole (which is quite often on UK roads) I hear a clonk from the right hand side front.

I removed the anti roll bar as the poly bushes were getting a bit tired and worn anyway and the clonk stopped.

I fitted all new rubber bushes and the clonk has now come back (although not as often now).

Any ideas? No evidence of the bar hitting anywhere. Everything is tight.

It sounds like a ball joint, but the drivers side lower arm is only 6 months old and I don't know why having the anti roll bar on would make it happen?
 
The Cinquecentos don't have drop links, just rubber bushes that bolt down to the top of the suspension arm. All brand new items along with the ones that bolt to the body.
