Water getting in and effectively lubricating the joint/or whatever ir is.

That's what I thought.

Been out for a good run today, knock got progressively worse, only appears to happen when cornering right :(

Plot thickens... Seems to be exactly as mine, opposite direction though but you also have the steering on the wrong side so makes the problem the same. Any recent updates or ideas what maight be the cause?

Well, it's defo. a dry joint somewhere.

Yesterday it was dry here, and it was creaking and knocking like a goodun'.

Today, it's pouring down, and not a peep from it.

Top drop link ball joint woul be in the right area iirc. But it would have to be a dry joint rather than a joint with play.

Iirc the creak/knock was with steering wheel at about 3 o'clock. As the ball drop link is attached to the shock body, it "might" be a possible cause. Although master would have had to undo the bottom ball joint when he worked on it. :-\
