Probably ARB bushes. You can get a spacer for them or a newer modified ARB bush.

There's info on here to replace them. Search +ARB +spacer +replace

Could also be track rod ends or ball joints, but ARB is your first port of call Thumbs Up Bodsys Brake Bible

Hi guys - I have the same problem - Wobble in the steering when driving on rough surfaces . Is this an expensive repair?

I replaced lower steering shaft arbs with upgraded ones and put two complete lower arms on. No knocks anymore. Arms are around 100 quid a side arbs are not dear. Lower steering done at dealers and paid about 300 fitted. Drives perfect now. Had all the same knocks as everyone described in this thread. Good luck Current: D3 commercial

Past: but not forgotten D3 HSE x2, 5 TD5 disco2's, 1 200tdi disco1, 2 300tdi disco1 one of which was a commercial, Off roader with a rather large spec, ARB's and big travel suspension to name a few.
