Was walking around the car earlier just giving it a quick visual check over and (as you do) gave the front left wheel a kick as it was on a bit of an angle, as if I was trying to kick it to go further in and it gave this horrible knocking noise. Gave it a kick on the other side, same noise so went over to the drivers side kicked that wheel and got a knock from that side as well.
Any ideas what I could be looking at? It's not long had new drop links.

its not the same noise as it was before i replaced the drop links. It also seems to be quite low down so think it might be the wishbones.

why would your differential collapse if you remove the driveshaft? i know as best working practice you should always leave one in but you only need to remove one.
