Default Front end thumping noise.

My AU series 1 has developed a thumping noise in the front end when driving over relatively minor bumps. It appears to come from both sides at different times. I've supported the front on stands and had a good look but can't see anything obvious. I've tried levering the sway bar to see if there is any play in the rubbers but they seem tight. I tightened the sway bar to wishbone rubber mounts and also nipped up the top nut on the strut towers but the noise persists. I have jacked up each wheel from under the lower balljoint to check for play but everything seems solid as a rock and I have to say I'm impressed with how solidly built the front end is built compared to earlier falcons. (Bad memories of an XC falcon I one owned). Has anyone had/cured a similar problem?
