Answer

Hi.

A fairly common fault on these cars that produce a knocking or rattling is due to worn antiroll bar drop link arms..which i persume should of been checked when you had your lower arm replaced.and they are fairly cheap to aquire and ahould only take around an hour to fit either side. another possible cause maybe worn strut top mounts again a sign maybe a sort of grinding from the top bearing mount whilst turning the steering full lock.because the lower arm has been replaced then it will rules that component out.
