could be upper and lower balljoints? the steering rack, maybe old cracked bushings? first get the car up in the air, enough so the tire is off the floor! then hold the wheel with your hards horizontally from each end and give it a shake, it shouldent have much play in it, and do the same holding it from the top and bottom.

yeah thanks i thought it was something like my brakes....
well i lifted the car and took the well off checked ever screw on the suspension and no luck...
figured out it makes the noise every time i turn the wheel right and then left again.
it sounds like its comimg fro my drivers side suspension.....
so ill try the shaking thing tho

got a diffrent one for you.....i had the same problem and it ended up being the k member loose..it would only do it if i was backing up in a certain direction or forward in the opposite motion only when i was just moving the car..at high speeds dont kno if it was making noise or not..but it sounded like the car was gonna fall apart. so if its not that...then ball joints are the next step

I have the same noise coming from my rear suspension.... whenever I hit a crack or bump in the freeway or even reversing out of my driveway, I hear a knock coming out of the back. Sometimes when it gives a loud knock, I feel like there's rear wheel hop going on. It's been happening for about a month now. When it was up in the air getting an oil change a couple of weeks ago, I shook the rear axle side to side and it seemed like it had too much play in it plus it re-created that knocking noise. It never did this before... what could be causing this?
