Help!! Knocking Noise

Knocking noise (soft patter)when turning right on freeway entrance curve at about 40 mi per hr. It seems to come from the left, front, tire, suspension area. Service dept. couldn't find it. Any ideas????? (Non S- 07)

Sounds like a loose endlink to me. It the little are that goes from the swaybar to the strut assembly.

thats what I would think especially entering a turn but if the service dept missed that...you need to go somewhere else. Also, it could be loose strut bolts...mushroomed tower (to where the strut doesnt sit flush) or worn bushings...
