Thank you for your suggestions.
I did remove the bolt and put new one in. Small angle grinder with a small cutting disk was required.
Actually when the wishbone bushes and the ball joints were changed new bolts were used. We used new bolts for clamping the strut, I can't possibly conceive how a genuine, M10 ,10.9 bolt can be stripped so easily. Must have been a fake hardness rating or something.
All torqued up properly now, however still no joy.
Now I have clunking when going over bumps, I comes from low down and it is dull, metallic, almost boingy, springy type of clunk lol.
I suspect ARB bushes or possibly the shocks themselves making noise internally. Everything else related to the front suspension is changed.
Also I noticed that the left hand driveshaft is having some small, in-out play where it enters the diff housing. I have no idea whether this is normal.
Any input appreciated...
