what's that sound?

Yesterday I've noticed some sort of metallic "clanking" sound from below the car (seemes to be coming from mid/left side), when driving over a small pothole in the road at very moderate speed.
Any idea what it could be? Any info appreciated!

Suspension arm bushes?? Causes thud when hit potholes etc
Would expect it to come from slightly further forward
Whichever wheel is at the obstruction should tell you front or rear, would suspect front

Further note
If you have not had these done,your car looks about the right age for this
Upgrade to the Range Rover ones from advanced factors.

Thanks for the info. Is that a job one can do himself or should I def go to a dealer?

Does not need to go to a dealer
I replaced the whole arm and not just the bushes for the heavier duty RR ones
Will need a wheel alignment really afterwards, so if you find a place that has the Hunter 4 wheel alignment equipment, get them to fit the arms and then do an alignment may get a good deal as a package, and will be half the price a dealer would charge
