   Check the rubber ball joints on your drop links, track rod end and on the end of the wishbone where it goes up into the base of your strut.
   
   If any of those are split (Most likely your drop links) then thatll be the cause of the knocking.

   does it do it everytime you pull off or when you pull off 1st thing in the morning?
