Should I love my clunk?

Have just had my A Frame balljoint replaced on my 96 110 300tdi, and all wheel bearings done, but am noticing a clunk when I hit any sort of hole on the road or go over a speed hump. Clunk seems to come from both front and back. No clunk when taking up drive or when driving on a decent surface. Any thoughts, or should I just remember that this is a 15 year old Land Rover and enjoy it!

Cheers.
 
I'd be inclined to check both the top and bottom rubber bushes on your shockers.

Had a similar problem with mine a few years ago and found that there was a bit of play in two of them ... Still OK for the MoT though!

Replaced and ragged up. No clunks since!

I would second this with the shocks, mine clunks like mad at the mo because the bushes are screwed. Worth a look. Lie under front so you can see the lower bolt on the shock and move the landy up and down using the bumper.
 
Def rear shocker bushes took me ages to find the clunk, only found it when i took it for a mot it was an advisory....
Was a cheap and easy fix saying i couldnt see anything wrong with them...
 
many thanks to all - will check my nuts and bushes this weekend...

Have subsequently changed the rear shocks (and springs), and changed all of the bushes on the rear ARB as well as the drop links. Still get a rattly clunk from rear over uneven surface - not dramatic just annoying - but no noise when going over larger bumps eg speed humps. Could this just be brake pad chatter and something to ignore?

Cheers
