Default 'Clinking' from front suspension

Hi guys

at low speed I get a clink (almost like a metal contracting/cooling exhaust sound) from the front of my 2007 S8 (58K miles now)

It's mostly at low speed (or most obvious then) and when manoeuvring.

Everything looks fine and MOT'd yesterday without issue.

Any thoughts?

This is it I think!

Definitely not a CV joint.

Did you tried putting that number in etka??
If it comes up then you can buy it from Audi.
I'll look into it if needed, on the phone now so no access to etka

Thanks for the offer, I'll give Audi Edinburgh a buzz on Monday and get some sent out.

Popping the hubs off is straightforward thankfully
