Since then the tyre wear has become uneven & there is a clang sound over pot holes & certain bumps.
A search on .org yielded the following info. on suspension noises.

Noises from the front suspension are mainly limited to wear in the lower arms - which may be the bushes and not the arms - the strut bearings and very occasionally the anti-roll bar bushes (rare though). These will manifest themselves as a hollow knock when travelling over a bump at low speed (arms or bushes) or a slight thud when turning the wheel from dead ahead when at rest (strut bearing).

Apart from those the front end is pretty robust.
