Knocking Balls
Sounds like a ball joint, lift the front of the vehicle and check all the steering joints, also check the suspension bushes for wear or damage as this may cause this.
Check the front wheel bearings, play in them may cause this problem, if nothing is found it could be a steering box problem.

Hi.
Had a similar problem, the knock when it came was so severe it vibratated the running boards, my 4x4 one man band workshop found it to a worn ball joint and slack in the steering box, ball joint replaced and steering box adjusted, no further problem. Wheel bearing previously replaced, so they were not a factor, nor were suspension bushes as they had also been replaced.
