The knock, could that be a wheel bearing?

Thank you, I know the boys over on E46Fanatics swear by the Siemens/VDO. At under $150, I will probably give that one a try.

I have turned the steering wheel lock to lock at a standstill and I do not hear any knocks. I am almost positive it is in the suspension/steering though. I just had another alignment done earlier this week to bring the rear camber from the factory -1.9 degrees to -1 degrees (-1.9 degree factory recommendation is still too much camber for my tires to wear properly IMHO) and the tech didn't mention anything but I will go out there and check again.

I am wondering about the ball joints and sway bar links that pop at certain positions? I just can't isolate the noise other than being on the right side.
I replaced these arms back in April and the noise started a few weeks later. I did recheck all the torque on those bolts and I did preload the suspension before tightening.
