Default Help with knocking and creaking front suspension

I'm getting knocking / clunking and creaking noises when going over bumps in the road. I've been told that the creaking could be anti roll bar bushes but I don't think the knocking / clunking sound are the bushes. The whole of the front end of the car doesn't feel very tight anymore and road bump seem to get transmitted straigt into the cabin.

Where should I start looking?

Default Thanks, can you confirm which they are on this drawing...

<center><img src="http://www.sunseaker.co.uk/personal/getimage.gif"></center><p>I am in the UK and I think we call the parts by a different name so I just want to be 100% before I order.

I assume I need item 5 and 6?

Default Well here in the UK they generally won't...>>

unless they it's on a very low mileage car in which case may be classified as a failure, otherwise classified as wear and tear so not covered.
