SOURCE: I HAVE A KNOCKING NOISE
Hi DAVIDHAMMER,
My name is Dennis
and I'm sorry to tell you this but you should check your constant velocity universal joint in the front wheel for wear or failure. If this knocking gets severe that is more noticeable when you turn your front wheels to the far end of travel you may have an expensive problem and this is normally fixed at the dealership.
please rate the solution because i will learn from your rating. Thank you

If you drive rough roads regularly, you may have a blown shock absorber.
You can test it to get a little idea of whether this has happened by using an oldtimer's method that isn't very precise but can help:
From the front of the car, cause each side (one at a time) to bounce by pressing then letting go repeatedly on a fender.
When you let go, do it at the bottom of the bounce and note what the fender does.
If it rises once, falls, then stops, it is probably OK. If it kind of fades away, then the shock isn't having any influence on it and must be replaced.
I should say both should be replaced; never only one.
As warned, this isn't an absolute test but you can get some kind of a feel for the shocks this way.

Intermediate steering shaft has play. It needs to be replaced. This is very common.

You may have pick up some debris on the road and it has wrapped around your front drive axle. That's honestly all I can think of as long as there are no other changes in the operation of the vehicle.
