The issue is this.
If moving slowly say in traffic and the brake is applied quickly and sharply, there is a knock noise and the feel of some sort of play in the front of the van.
I have had droplinks and wishbones replaced and everything is fully tight.
I thought it might be play in the suspension strut somewhere. Has anyone got anymore pointers

Worn wishbone bushes. Had a breaker bar on the wheel nut today and found the strut moved left to right about 5 mm.
So called good quality cheap replacent wishbones from ebay. Never again, 16 months old with 9k miles on them.
Been bitten by getting cheap parts!!!
