Try it with the bonnet open and see if the shock absorber bolts are loose.

You should grease the suspension at regular intervals as a matter of course, unlikely to be any kind of a cure for knocks.

I agree - if it's knocking - it needs new parts (bushes/trunnions/kingpins) - not just greasing. Although - damper bolts loose are certainly a (dangerous) possibility!
