Default knocking from front suspension

hi guys
ive recently brought a saff cos 4x4 and the n/s front suspension makes quite a load knock over certern road surfaces. its got koni adjustables and poly bushes all round, all bushes look to be ok, all bolts are tight, no play in any joint. drive shafts look alright.
its getting to the point now were im .
the only other thing im wondering is has anyone had any koni strut inserts go oval
any help on this matter would be great
thanks
mark

Have you tried changing the top mounts, or if not swap them over and see if the noise moves

hi guys
sorry for the delay but ive finely had a look at the the knocking strut and found that the coil spring was not located in the top cup ( half of the top coil was hanging out), so it must have been like this for quite a while
thank god its all sorted know
