Is it while driving? Check strut tops.

Sounds like tailshaft bearing. Replace it before it blows or you will need a replacement shaft as well as bearing.

It sounds like the off side strut
Every thing is tight....how do I check without removal
The power steering seems ok, engine mounts ok

How's the gap under the strut top hat? Does it only knock once or continuously?
