Ever since i have owned the car there has been a knocking noise from the L/H/F at low speeds, usually when going around a corner in 1st or 2nd, it has bilistein suspension, sofar i found i was missing the swaybar link pin on the L/H/F which caused the swaybar to hit the car, and was replaced but the noise is still present, Machanic has roadtested and put up on hoist to look, found nothing and lowered it off the hoist...no noise, suspected spring to be slightly out and being on the hoist popped it back in, nope returned so after.......so any thoughts guys??

How many k's are on it ?
Could be multiple things .can you feel the knock through the steering wheel ?
Is it full lock turns or any turn? And is it
eft and right turns?
Control arm bushes. Balljoints. Struts (maybe check the top nut of the strut my gen two knocked cause it was loose) drive shafts. Sway bar end link binding . Wheel bearings so many things in the car that could cause it
