Drop links are probably the cheapest and easiest to replace, ARB bushes could be on their way out - another easy & cheap job. Other things that could be causing the banging - Top suspension bearings, broken spring & driveshaft. Unfortunately there is no easy way apart from pulling everything apart to find out what's causing it.
If it's any consolation, I've had the same issue for a few months so it can't be serious.
As for the hissing, again could be any number of things, I'm thinking air con leak? Radiator leak?. Get a mate to put his foot on the brake and see if you can get a more precise location.
