i have another knock 
i have a knock on the OSF wheel
I was trying to find out what the rear end knock was and found that the rear ARB bushes are worn, i have placed my order with The Large one.
Whilst doing this i discovered a front end knock if i grab hold of the lower tail gate and wobble the car left to right I get a knock from the Off side Front wheel.
I get the same thing if i push and pull the top of the OSF wheel.
I have checked all the bushes and ball joints and they seem ok.
The lower wish bone bushs, Ball joints and front Anti Roll Bar bushs have been replaced.
I am guessing its the wheel bearing.
Yes the wheel is on securely and tight  well as tight as the hub that hold it 
Any advise or suggestions will be greatly received
for those that read this before i corrected it I know I spelt the subject WHEEL wrong sorry my spelling was not my strong point at school come to think of it no subject was  
Many Thanks

osf drop link or hydro bushes....bet if yer go over slight bumps at less then 5mph you'll hear it knocking (drop link) or stamp on brake at 10mph (hydro bushes) 
had all my arb's, lower wishbones etc the other week, reported a knocking noise, then collected car expecting not to hear anything again, low and behold it was there still when I drove off the forecourt, up on the ramp, waggled the drop link and sure enough knocking a good an.
5 mins later, all done. simple case of unbolt old and renew.

Thank you for your reply
I did check the drop links and haven't noticed a knock whilst driving at any speed only the one at the rear and i found the rear ARB Bushes to be worn
The depth of the knock sound to me like the hub is moving and the knock can be felt on the OSF wheel
I will double check the drop links
( Edit )Checked the drop links and seem to be ok, when I 1st heard the knock I thought I was the drive shaft moving in the hub is this possible ? I took the center cap of the wheel to see If the shaft was moving but that looked ok as well
Many thanks
