Default Knocking sound in front end?

I think I've isolated this odd knocking sound to the front drivers side. I know it has to be suspension related. It is most noticable at low speeds <30, but I hear it over EVERY crack in the road. The drivers side wheel bearing has a little play....but could it be something else? The car also vibrates a little at highway speeds.

How do you check to see if a coilover is shot? and who rebuilds GAB's?

possiable bad ball joint. Possiable loose TC rod (has happened to me) or possiable bad tie rod. only way to find out is to see what the tq is on the tc rod bolts and check for play on the other 2
