Loads on here about it :D
Usually droplinks and/or anti-roll bar bushes/brackets - easy and fairly cheap to fix 8)

Is it a constant knocking or is it just when you go over bumps? If it's constant & gets worse as you corner, could well be a cv joint.

Wheel bearings.
Don't feel for play in the bearing, feel for rough rumble.
