Possibilities:
1. Loose jack.
2. Loose or worn anti roll bar drop links.
3. Loose hub nut.

was it a subaru garage that told you this? mine had black ones in and they knocked! as have numerous other people on here. Type uks (as far as i'm aware) all came with black struts and springs, if they had red springs on then they are likely to have prodrive springs fitted, but the struts will still knock.

It could also be the ARB mount bush (not endlink).Disconnect roll bar and drive around a bit.
