95 knocking problem?

hey
im pretty sure its a suspension issue
when im driving on a bumpy road i hear a little knocking in the front of the car. im assuming its the shocks, what exact part might be going bad?
it doesnt affect the ride i think, just gets really annoying especially on the shitty ny roads.

Either find a REAL alignment shop and have them inspect the suspension, or get under the car and look for loose parts yourself. ANY of the parts could be bad and make noise.

sounds like a ball joint problem or if your car has suspension links at the front like the rear has then it might be them also so check those out.

sway bar links can make those sounds too, but if its a good pop/clunk then its possibly a balljoint. but it does nee to be correctly inspected to make sure you're not just throwing parts that it doesnt need. though at your miles anything or everything could have enough play to need replacing. you do not need an alignment after balljoints on the corolla, just fyi.
