getting the knocking sound up front when i hit a bump

it's usually just a single knock when I hit a small bump. I'm sure it is strut related, but would like to narrow it down as much as possible.

thanks,

Jason S.

Check the rubber insulators where the swaybar attachs to the lower control arm, if they are worn out, broken or missing you will get that knocking sound too.
