Default knocking driving me wild!!!!

I've bought myself a wagon on a 2000 plate and have posted on here a few times regarding my dad's scooby. Please can someone give me a rough idea what the hell is the knocking I'm hearing from the passenger side front wheel. Its been to the garage and they've replaced one of the bushes on the anti roll bar, stripped the strut down and had a look to see if there is any play in the wheel, but they can't see nothing else except for the slightest play in the drive shaft. The knocking is only there some times, it's driving me wild
Thanks for your help guys

Thats the thing that confuses me it happens when I do all of the above, just comes out of the blue. One min I'm going along 60mph "knock". Start off first thing in th morning, "knock". And when I reverse!

you absolutely sure the garage fitted the struts correctly? I had lots of clunks from my fr o/s strut until I re-fitted it myself, this time making sure to align the upper spring seat correctly, since then all the noises have gone, - might be worth a try.

Does it stop when you brake. Could be pads or the clip hold the disc tight maybe. Had knocking from same place and there was very minor movement in the disc

when I change my pads next week I'll get them to check the brakes and discs see what they come up with. Is everyone the same, once you hear one knock, you listen harder for more then or is that my oc dissorder? lol

Check condition of your ARB bushes and as already said check everything is done up as it should be. Don't assume the garage have done it.
