   Knocking and iffy noises on the front end can be a number of things:
   
   Top mounts
   Top mount bearing
   Track rod end
   Wishbone ball joint
   Worn wishbone bushes
   Driveshaft
   Incorrectly seated or broken springs
   Loose damper collar
   Knackered damper
   Wheel bearing
   Drop links
   
   The most expensive thing on the list is of course a driveshaft.
   
   Most of the things can be easily changed yourself with little mechanical knowledge.
