Hmmm…. Go back again to idle arm bushes or does the knock is more audible when you use your brakes? Try checking on the disk brakes carriers for loose bolts and snap pins. it can also be the gas type worn-out shock absorbers…

Front End

Does it knock when turning left or right, or when going over a bump? Mine made some noise when going over bumps at slow speed and it turned out to be worn shocks. Replaced those and upper ball joints, back to normal.
