   Check the pinch bolt between the arm and the bottom of the shock has been done up properly, also which ever drop link was undone to get the driveshaft out.

   Could be the o/s driveshaft, knocking when going round corners is usually an indication of a shaft.
   
   Could also be a few other things such as an engine mount.

   Try opening bonnet & rocking the engine. Sounds like an engine mount problem I've had.
