they move a little but ,well not sure how much it takes them to knock. getting worse each day it knocks now every time you slow down speed up and over bumpy ground . how much play can be acceptable ? many thanks for the info .

i believe that there shouldnt be any noticable movement.

I had this issue -  horrible sounding metallicy noise from somewhere near the front wheel.  Got underneath with a large screwdriver and found some movement on the front radius arm bushes at the axle end.  Replaced them - noise gone.

However, I' ve just had a prod around again and there seems to be as much movement as before, but no noise!  Suppose thats LR mechanicals for you.
