Knocking Noise From Car

[bhav]

Hi Everyone, I recently brought a Y reg smart car with only 57k miles... a year ago the previous owner took the car back for a factory recall for some shocks all round... I brought the car two days ago and when i go over small bumps it has a knocking noise from somewhere under the car... not sure wehat it is... smart looked at it this morning and couldnot find a fault and cant work out what it could be... they suggested a taking front apart and having a look...

Has anyone had a similar problem with thier smart? who may know what the problem is...

Kind Regards
Bhav

Lower ball joints.

Shockers are also a common one too.

Roll bar links are a possibility.
