balljoint it is then, actually on mine it did the knocking as well and i changed both track rod ends and it cured it, also a loose brake calliper can make this noise too as it happened to me as well.

If changing the springs and dampers has introduced the problem I would first be asking the people who fitted those what they thought of it.

Could be many things.

CV joint wear would also sound like that to the untrained ear, except that you would generally hear that under partial acceleration or engine braking.

You really need it up off the ground so you can get under it and check for clean bits where parts are contacting or swing off stuff to check for play. Don't pull it off the jack.

Also - you say you have only changed one shock and left the old one on the other side? I wouldn't be comfortable with that myself.
