Default Knocking noise help

I have an 04 srt-4 with 55,000 and I hear a knocking noise going over bumps and sometimes when I turn my mechanic couldn't find wrong when he checked it out. But it's annoying. Brakes are good and so are the bushing

Have you done anything to the suspension? Check the torque on the lower knuckle in the front that holds the lower control arm to the spindle. I can't remember the exact tqr spec I think its 45-50 ft lbs

If it is while turning, then probably a CV shaft
