The mounts do sit flush when jacked up, and will rise when sitting on ground, perfectly normal.

Knocking on full lock could be the cv joint.

What needs replacing exactly. Been to the garage with them like that for ages and never had anything mentioned about them, not long had the strut bearing replaced on the drivers side and it was looked at that side and no concerns were made.

It needs the top mount replacing, how a garage can say that is fine is beyond me, they should be replaced in pairs as well.
