Default Suspension Knocking

Hey

My front drivers side suspension is knocking. I have replaced the drop links and whilst that was being done had the rest of the suspension checked. I was told that all is fine and nothing could be causing the knocking noise.

But the noise is still there. When i go over a pot hole or speed bump. The car still handles great, does not pull to either side.

What could be causing this?

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions

I cant see it being the shockers. It now only has to be the smallest of bumps and at a v low speed, not enough to push a shock i would not have thought.

If pushing the shocks up and down manually you would be able to hear the knocking?
