You didn't say if the knocking noise is related to wheel rotation or suspension travel as you corner.
I just replaced the struts on my 1998 because there was a clunking noise coming from the rear on rough roads. Figured it was a strut bearing going bad. When I moved the trunk liner out of the way and popped the rubber cap off the rear strut towers the passenger side had rust in it. A sign that the rubber isolaters were failing and letting water in. You could try that.
P.S. Anybody know how to smooth the wrinkles out of the trunk liner?

do you have custom wheels??? I know when i put my 18's on my car it started doing the clanking and banging noise because the wheel was actually rubbing against the torsion bar..
