I have exactly the same problem, a constant knocking when driving and travelling over the slightest bumps. I replaced both wishbones which includes the bottom ball joints but this has not rectified the problem at all. It does however feel like to me that it is the front struts moving up and down. Can anyone help ?

front knocking is the worn rubber on the front strut located at the top of the spring, less than twenty pounds a pair, but the front springs need to come out to fit.

could be lower wishbone bushes -have a good look at the rear bushes which are situated just below front foot wells!
