It could be your:

 

Bottom arm balljoint/bushes

Trackrod end

Antiroll bar droplink

Knackered top mount rubbers/bearings

Loose subframe

Ovalled hub

 

Could be any of the above, get underneath and start having a play.

Did you take the hub off the balljoint? If you can spin the balljoint with your fingers it's f*cked.

Is the gaitor still in one piece and the grease still present?

I find that its most likely to be a drop link when I have any sound that knocks over bumps. Not saying its always the case but has been the thing to go most often on my cars.
