Well I checked the dampers and there's plenty of oil in them. Then jacked up the front and span the wheel and and it all seems fine now.
It seems to come and go
Hopefully thats the last of the problem now though.

You should drain them - and refill with good oil. SAE 20 for standard damping (so 20W50 will be fine) or SAE30 for slightly improved or SAE40 for better (but that's NOT 10W40!).

Will see how the drive is and will change the oil if the problem rears its ugly head again
