Might be worth checking the anti-roll bar d-bushes as they can cause the same sort of knocking as you would expect from worn drop-links (check them with the weight of the vehicle on them, if you jack the vehicle up the wear may not be apparent. Failing that check your track rod ends, bottom balljoints, wishbone inner bushes, stut top mounts etc. Could even be a duff shock, even if they are still giving full damping they can clonk going over bumps when the valving inside gets worn.
