check tracking, are the wheels balanced?

rod ends maybe??

then again a knocking noise could well be suspension related? check dampers and springs?

jack the car up and grab the wheel at top and bottom ...give it a good shake and see if there is any movmnet

do same at the three and nine postion of the wheel

turn wheel from lock to lock and check for any play in rack

if your not sure, take it for an MOT and get them to check it out for you
