Front end knocking

On the passenger side front end every now and again there is a knocking noise. It's not suspension as Drc is removed and coilovers fitted. With the wheel jacked up, if I apply pressure to the wheel side to side I can make it knock. There is a very small amount of movement. Is this likely to be the wheel bearing?

Side to side not up and down? Maybe track rod?

Yes possible trackrod or steering rack slightly loose for what it is worth I would check all bolts for suspension and steering subframe then you know they are tight any slightest movement will sound louder in the car has you will also feel it through your feet or steering wheel
