Default Still got a clonk, do these bushes look like they do the job ?

Had the 2 suspension arm bushes replaced recently and initially it was better, but now the clonk/movement is back on power take up, do these bushes look like they are doing the job? if so the problem is elsewhere[IMG][IMG]bush1 by Mangizmo Brean, on Flickr[/IMG][IMG]bush2 by Mangizmo Brean, on Flickr[/IMG]

They are good value at under £18 delivered for quality ones. I usually get first line ones that cost about £27 at local motorfactors.
