hi as above ive checked the linkages and the only ont that looks sus is the little u shaped one at the back of the front wheel , would this cause any knocking , it also knocks when turning the steering wheel off on my drive.
 
Could be allsorts of things..

Bit of a stab in the dark but my exhaust mid-section worked loose today and the resultant drop of the front end of the pipe caused it to collide with the suspension arms at the front of the car, causing a loud knocking sound whenever I turned left.

Is your exhaust fitted completely snug and where it should be?

Just a thought...

J:)
 
Could be the front ARB bushes or the top suspension arms. If you're changing the ARB bushes, then definitely change the drop-link component (the one you described)
 
Most probally drop links as said, does it happen when turning or just over bumps amd stuff
