knocking sound

I have a 2007 s550, after sitting awhile some hours when a drive it I can hear and feel a knocking sound in the right front wheel area. After driven for a few minutes or miles it goes away and back to normal (quiet). until the next time a drive it.

does it do it at idle or only when going down the road? is it 4-matic? does it do it when engine hot?

Sounds like a worn bushing or ball joint.
