Need more information such as the year and make if the vehicle, I will guess that its a front wheel drive vehicle. Now these vehicles have an axle for each front wheel, and they have a flexible joint on each axle. And these joints can start knocking and get very loud, but usually, the knocking don't start until you start turning a corner or making a turn. They can be quiet as long as you are going straight down the road. They are called cv-joints. Most of the time a garage will replace the joint and the rubber boot around the joint. The knocking could be coming from just one side. I have personally fixed this problem by taking the axle out of the side that was knocking, cleaned and repacked it with new grease and a new rubber boot and it really didn't need a new joint . Most of the time the boot will dry rot and crack and let water and dirt get inside and then it can start making noise
Replace the front struts AND the turn plates above them, they call those the "strut kits". it houses a bearing plate that turn with the steering wheel.... if the struts are too expensive to replace right now, just have the strut KITS replaced. Very common with 80K+ front wheel drive cars and almost always an area most people look over. good luck
