Front End Clunk/bang fixed.

When my L300 went from stop to go or making a slow turn such as pulling into a parking space there was a loud clunk/bang, kind of a two stage noise. It seemed to happen when the front end went slowly from weight to unweight or vice versa especially with the wheels turned.
I checked the shocks and they seemed fine, I tightened the frame bolts and still the bang. I took it to Two Guys Auto in Bracebridge and they discovered it was the lower control arm bushings.
New ones in and now it is quiet, it drives better and there are way less general rattling noises coming from the front end.
