Front ball joints and outer track rod ends - knackered

[Driver+Passengers]

Ady kindly pointed out, while lying underneath my van, that my lower ball joint rubbers were split. I need to do the rear drop links and poss. anti-roll bar bushes anyway, but the front started knocking about 1500 miles ago. Here's how bad it is...

Nearside lower ball joint:


Nearside track rod end:


Offside lower ball joint:


Offside track rod end:



Offside shock, too:



Needless to say, I'm going to tackle all this myself. Looking at these photos on the screen, it could all do with a bit of TLC down there.

I've just ordered and received the rear anti roll bar drop links, bushs and brackets from the member section and received them within a few days, very impressed with the turn around.

Is there a knocking noise with your ball joints/track rods on uneven surfaces?

Front and back, not terrible, but the whole thing is just loose, clatters, clunks, knocks, etc. I've not pursuaded anything to move myself yet, but when driving it's evident.
