knock sound on passenger side

hey guys, for a little while now when i make left and right turns i'll hear a knock sound coming from the front right wheel area(suspension related)

and this knock only happens once, it doesn't continue through-out the turn....anybody have any ideas? strut mounts? passenger axle? thanks guys

sounds like strut bearings. Does it do it when you turn the wheel, but aren't moving?

Won't that happen when you're not moving too though? He says it doesn't.

No not really, http://www.motorvate.ca/mvp.php/703

Bearings usually price around $40 for the set.
