Took the car to another garage for a second opinion, they suggested it could be the top strut mount due to the frequency of the knocking.
A new steering rack is quite a upheaval if its not the right move.
I plan on replacing the dampers, with the tophat and new spring rubbers. Replace the 4 control arms, each side. replace inner and outer tie rods and ARB link with bushing.
so complete front refresh, my hope is that it fixes the problem, if not I know the front is sorted.
I guess then its sourcing a second hand steering rack.
