Wheel bearing or end links?
Hi all! So I've been having this knocking type noise from my passenger side wheel well area that happens mainly when I accelerate. At times its during a turn, or straight, doesn't really matter. I also hear it some times at very slow speeds coming up to a red light at around 5-10MPH and I'm off the gas and break. I do not hear any humming at all, just the knocking and when it gets really bad I can actually feel it under the floor on the driver side closest to the center of the car.
For example, I could be on the freeway at 60 or 70 and I'll hear the starting of the knocking and immediately when I am off the gas, the noise goes away and right when I'm back on it, the knocking continues, until I go up to maybe 80, then it stops for the most part but on and off here and there. I though it was the tie rod ends, I changed them yesterday and the problem is still there. I have Mogg end links that I changed many years ago, could it be that? Any way to test the end links? I want to try the cheaper options first, suggestions?
THanks!

How about your inner tie rods? Have you tried jacking car up and seeing if you have any play side to side and at 12 and 6 on the wheel. In other words grabbing at 12 and 6 wiggling wheel and checking for play same for 9&3?? While you're at it check ball joints.
