Knocking Drivers Side, Carisma 1.8glxi Options

[karatekidportree]

Hi Everyone, as you can see i'm new to this Mitsubishi forum.
I currently own a R plate Carisma 1.8glxi (petrol), its flown through another M.O.T,
The problem i currently have is that on the drivers side of the car, there is a knocking that i can feel through the drivers pedals, i have replaced the anti-roll bars on both side, had the car at a local garage, up on the ramp and the bushes and springs seem to be ok.
So i am completly confused as to what it could be? Any idea would be useful, cheers everyone.

My guess would be the ball joint in the wishbone, mine's doing the same thing.

It can also be the lower control arm bushings. The lower control mounts at 2 sections. the rear section of the control arm is the one i am referring to, these tend to go bad more frequently. They are concealed by a 2 bolt plate.
