Anyway of confirming this ?

I'd say drop links too, only confirmed by the symptoms you describe. If it clunks taking up the drive then rear wishbone bushes or lower engine mount.

I agree.
I've had to change mine twice in the last three years and I only do 5k a year.
Buy the best you can and stuff them with appropriate grease before installing.

Front wishbone rear rubber bush.

I'd go with this too. I've recently replaced the lower front wishbone rubber bush because of a clunk.---Now perfect.---

To eliminate the drop link, pick a side that you think the noise is coming from and inject some oil behind the rubber boots and see if the noise disappears . That's how I diagnosed mine a few years back.
