Default REAR DROP LINK KNOCKING QUERY...

Hi folks......tightened boot lock....new rear top mounts and I am still getting a baŁ$ard knock from nsr. After looking on forums here again thought I would check the rear drop links. Funny enough, drivers side is nicely straight and vertical but the nsr one is sat leaning at about 45 degreee angle towards the centre of the car. It is still connected top and bottom, not broken but looks like bottom bush has failed hence the reason it has slid against the shank of the bottom bolt. Please tell me this isn't normal and that I may have found the problem???
Also, why would this make the knocking sound?? Is it just that it catches the ARB???

Thanks folks!!!!
