Hope anyone can help me. I just spent quite a bit on replacing the front suspension components recently only to my annoyance to have a clunk appearing a week later from the left front side on turning both left and right. I sent it to a workshop as I didn't have the tools to press the bushes.

This is what was replaced

left strut mount and bearing
both control arm bushings - the conical ones and the one connecting to the frame
both swaybar link rod
both radius rod bushings

My shocks, ball joints, sway bar bushes, right strut mount and tie rod are relatively new - bout 2 to 3 years old so I didn't replaced those.

Could it be something the shop didn't do properly? I've called them and described the clunk. They said most probably my ball joint needs replacing. Do ball joints fail that quickly though? I plan to jack up the front end and have a proper look at the suspension this weekend. Any pointers or hints greatly welcomed.

Thanks in advance.
