Are you lowered? If so could be knocking on your ARB, if not maybe a worn bush.

no when it knocks its like it hits a stop of some sort, even if it is at the end of its travel it shouldnt make a knocking noise should it? ive just been out in it and it actually seems to feel odd when if ur stopped an turn the wheel left to right quickly u can feel a slight knock an to be honest the car feel disjointed when u drive it down the road especially on the our sh!tty rough roads
