Unhappy Knocking noise on classic WRX

1997 WRX. I've got a slight knocking noise from the front of the car but only at low speeds 0-30mph. Any ideas

Not sure if it stops when it rains but at speeds 40-70mph it's fine. It does sound like it's coming from the front leg. Another sn user Tony Montana has got the same problem
