Front right suspension, knocking noise
When I leave from a dead stop, I hear a knocking noise in the front right suspension. Its just a single knock, and only happens when going from a dead stop, or if you were in first gear coasting and you floored it. If I slowly let the clutch out, and gradually get the car moving, I can avoid hearing the knock. But when it happens I can feel it in the gas pedal and in the car (not a hard jolt, but enough to know that something knocked). Any ideas?
I think its the axle, my CV boot is busted open, and probably has no grease inside the boot anymore. Its only been like this for a month, tops, and I am getting new axles this week. But if it is not the axles, I need to know where to check.
Thanks for the help.

endlinks are ok, I dissassembeled them, re-greased the parts, re assembled them. Re-greased the sway bar bushings, and upper control arm bushings. Noise is still there.

they have been inspected and are ok. The lca bushings wouldnt cause a knock like this unless they were binding. when the car was on stands we took a jack and moved the suspension up and down through its range of motion, and everything seemed to move fine (without any binding).
all signs point to axle so far.

Re: (suprmods)
Sounds like upper ball joint to me. Just grab the stearing knuckle and pull back and forth. You can do this without being on jacked up. I replaced my upper left balljoint and my knocking sound is gone too (single knock under same circumstances). Upper ball joint requires whole new upper control arm.
