If it just happened after the work was done, take it back for an inspection. It should be free and they can tell you if it is your cv joints. But yes it sounds like cv joints. More question hit me up here http://painintheexhaust.blogspot.com

acually, they are pretty much one in the same. first, what you have is called a half-shaft, and in the middle of that shaft is a joint that allows it to pivot. in order to replace tha CV, you must pull the entire shaft, then disassemble the joint, you'll find that most of the pivot is allowed by the shafts themselves, thay interlock, like a shoulder joint. so if there is damage, it is most likely to one side or both, of the halfshaft. long story short, if it is your CV, you should be replacing the entire halfshaft, ussually a $100 part, with $100-$200 in labor. all that said, new shocks should not make that problem arise, as a matter of fact, it should slightly quiet it, if it existed previously, by limiting the amount of play in the halfshaft. i would take it to a place that does a free checkup, if they say it is the shocks, ie- the way they were installed, then return to who intalled them with this free report and demand they correct their mistake.
oh, and the CVs ussually don't go out untill 150-200K miles, if your car is that old, and you know they have not been replaced, and it is the problem, than replace them both, it will save you $50-$100 in the short run.

Depending on the clunk, if it only does it on Full lock, or when going around a roundabout then it could be the CV joint.
If it is doing it in a straight line when going over bumps it could be the bushes on the anti-roll bar.

Why did you have the dampers (shocks) changed?
Peugeot dampers are designed to last the life of the car (unlike the dampers on virtually every other brand of car).
They should only be replaced if damaged (e.g. after an accident) and then only with genuine Peugeot parts, not by those available from Kwik-Fit, etc.

might be as simple as one of the bolts holding the shock in place hasn't been done up cleanly so the shock is moving slightly in its mounting, is the clonk front or back? I changed some shocks on an Astra some years ago & didn't get the bolt in & done up cleanly & had a clonk for ever after! If its front, might be the suspension spring hasn't been located properly in the strut - or the spring has snapped (happened to me on my 306 estate).

you haven't any longer have been given plenty luck with this motor vehicle, lol i do no longer with my 106 the two. verify the music rod end, that could clarify the wheel shaking. verify the project of the CV boot, if the boot is chop up and the grease has come out you have have been given a seizing CV joint. are not getting the joint replaced only get a sparkling driveshaft if that's the project. driveshaft will value you approximately £50. it is risky to stress, do no longer stress it until you are going to a storage.

does it only knock when you go left?
It is possible that the fitter has not put them on the right side. It could be hitting the inner wheel arch or the dropling.
Look under the car for any new marks on the inner wings around the top of the droplink.
