Lots of potential causes.
Steering stop fault.
Loose front U bolts (assuming leaf sprung)
Worn spring/shackle bushes (assuming leaf sprung)
Faulty steering stabiliser/bushes.
Loose king pin bearings.
Faulty steering box/column linkage.
Worn tie rod end.
Etc.
Needs a thorough front end check over, preferably on a 4 post hoist where one can monitor/diagnose while another operates the wheel to produce the knock.
