At low speeds up to 25, when turning , light braking, pot holes, & light acceleration,Could A R B Bushes make this metalick noise ? They look ok, also Drop links, seem ok, could the Wishbones be the problem, Very hard to check, without removing.Next .Shocks? Anyone had this problem? Another annoying thing my message screen , almost imposible to see in daylight, also the temp/ clock screen, Had my 3.0 S E for over 4 years now 2002, Is this a fault on early models? Advice on that damm KNOCKING wellcome,

A metallic clicking on full lock is usually the CV joint that's gone.
The test is to wind all the windows down and drive in tight circles, one way then the other while listening for the "Click" in time with the wheel rotation.

ARB bushes at the front sound like a rapid, muted knock across the car under your feet over a rough surface. The frequency is quite fast as there's not much movement as they bounce back and forth.

ARB droplinks can be very noisy, clonking away, easy to unbolt and drive the the car over a rough road, if the clonking goes, it's the droplinks.

Clonking on braking/acceleration/over rough roads could be the wishbone bushes or bottom ball joints. The wheel will rock if the ball joint is knackered, jack up and test.
Wishbone bushes are harder to test as the cars weight can mask play, a pry with a bar can sometimes show up a loose bush, also check the bolts are tight.

A few other items to check, the tie rod ball joints (the rack ends, screwed into each end of the steering rack) under the bellows, these can click as can the track rod ends.

Also could be top bearings on shocky (top mount).
