clonk / clunk when braking+ unstable

I cant find anything obviously wrong with the zx(broken spring, loose mountings), but i get a clonk on the last bit of braking.

The tie rod bushes are supposed to be poly, but they are black with what looks like rust leaking out of them. :cry: Its driving like something is loose, cant see any cracks around underside of arm mounts either.

Any ideas?..its been a bad week, supposed to of sold it + got another by now, but the guys stringing me along :slap:

    It'll be the tension rods,either bushes fooked(what you describe as rust leaking is the gel in em') or the bolts to the bottom arm or both,check lower arm for cracks here too! ;)
