hi everyone.i have a 96 1.8 a4 and have an annoying clunk coming from the front everytime i hit any minor bump in the road.this feels like the suspension is going to collapse,but when i tested the push down&steady test on the shockers they seem fine.i have raised both tyres off the ground and tried for any free play in the upper and lower arms but they seem fine as well!!any ideas please?the car has covered 100k.thanks guys.
 
Sounds more like Wishbone/Subframe bushes. Jack the car up an remove the wheels, then with a pry bar "Gently" prise the bushes for softness or have move out of their locations... Let me know how you get on...
