Knocking Sound on Ft Passenger
 
Ive had this really odd knocking/ metallic like sound coming from my front passenger side, especially when I go into a dip or hit a bump. Ive had both struts, sway bar links, front end alignment, and still no luck. I maybe thought it could be a strut mount possibly. If I can get feedback it would be highly appreciated.

Can you duplicate the sound, maybe bouncing the car when it's parked? Then you can have someone do that while you listen around down there to pinpoint the location.

I have bounced on it and everything and cannot reproduce the sound only while driving ive taken my car to about 3 different garages now I probably have spent over 300 on work and parts

My problem was the ball joints, but I would think you could reproduce the sound when stopped if that were the problem.

I looked at the lower ball joint today and saw grease coming out and one of the bushings to the lower control arm looked cracked so i really dont know considering im not a mechanic

Photo?

Cracked bushings or leaking balljoints can be the cause of the knocking sound. Sometimes cracked bushings appear worse than they really are.

ill be sure to post one after I get off work

If your car is old enough it could even be the sway bar to frame bushings. You got one on either side.
