You can replace the droplinks without the wishbones if you wish, and it is an easy job. I haven't had seized bolts on any that I've done so far.
You won't be able to feel wear in the droplinks whilst they're in situ. but replacement will solve the knocking.

I felt play in these this afternoon and it took a big hammer to help get the nuts off :-/

Yes but, you dont expect people who wear pink tops to be overly strong!  ;D

Just caught up with this thread.
God knows how you managed to use a hammer in that area, Daz!  ;D
It was the droplink nuts you were belting, wasn't it?
I would have used my magic extendable bar to get extra leverage if necessary. Best £6 I've ever spent. (Well, on tools that is!).
