If it's happening when you're going round a corner rather fast and gripping (as opposed to drifting) then you should probably replace the shocks.

Other than that, I think the setup is fine.
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Al found that the knocking stops if the susp arms are all tight....
Check to make sure nothing is loose or badly worn:, bushes, control arms, strut mounts etc.
