Loud metal bang noise

Hello,

I’m struggling to track down a very loud metal on metal sounding bang/knock noise.
It happens when breaking or reversing out to the left.

I’ve replaced:
Control arms
Anti rotation links
Callipers
Suspension (yellow speeds)
All engine mounts plus added poly flex inserts

Here’s some pics of what looks like contact between the drive shaft and bottom of the drop link ARB.

Please help. I’ll also upload a video of some noise and play in the drive shaft section.

Driveshafts are meant to have in and out movement...... not that that helps you a great deal.

The contact also looks like someone chopped a drop link off at some point.
If the link was hitting the shaft, it would be all the way round.

I had a metal clunking coming from the wishbone. It would be noticeable when moving away at slow speeds. It turned out that the wishbone was not bolted to the subframe tight enough and there was a tiny amount of lateral movement.

Cheers for the reply guys. I went out for a drive today and I believe I’m also getting the same noise when pulling away.
Could this be as simple as a worn hub ball joint?
I also need to fit two new oem wishbone’s that I’ve got but need to bring myself round to doing them.
