The symptoms sound very similar to my 'B when the lower trunion
bushing seized. I was able to trace down the sound by removing
my springs so that I could flex the whole suspension system
up and down on that side of the car. It was quite obvious where
the sound was coming from.
In any event, I bought a rebuilt king pin set from Moss and redid
the whole thing. Since then I have been very religious about
greasing all of the fittings which are supposed to get greased.
