Exactly the same here Snowman. I noticed it within 10 mins of picking up the car from Ultimate, but it goes without saying that I couldn't replicate for them.
Has steadily worsened and now clunks regularly, mainly when turning on carpark ramps or up/down into driveways. It's definitely a clunk somewhere in the front end, that you can feel through the floor. Thought it may have been the heavy duty bash plates, but I loosened those off and re-tightened them.
Don't know what it is...but it wasn't there before the suspension change. Could be the steering column bushes, but it doesn't make sense that those would bugger up literally overnight.
Ball joint bolts maybe...dunno.

My top hat rubbers were damaged - from the first install i believe, as Ultimate showed me when putting it back toether - but it should not cause a knocking sound.
keep taking note of the circumstances it happens Steane, as will i, and we can compare notes later.
