they are common to knock on standard shocks as the grease hardens, you can overhaul them by replacing the old grease with fresh soft grease.

Sorry to hijack mate mine has the same problem. I have replaced the drop links and had it tested, the garage where i took it had a good look and said there is nothing wrong with any part of my suspension that could create the knocking noise... Its driving me up the wall.
