check your exhaust , maybe it has come off one of the hangers. could also be a bad shock or bushing on that side

any chance one or a few or your lugs are loose and and that certain speed, your wheel is banging around? (don't laugh, i've done it ) does it do it at lower speeds? or just on the freeway? What kind of knocking? (like someone is knocking onthe body w/a hammer?, or something softer is banging around? or?)

CHecked the lugs and exhaust, all ar good and I even resnugged them...

the knocking sounds like there are marbles tied to strings that are knocking
on the qtr panel....it isn't a huge knocking just an annoying muffled knockiing...

The shocks are all new motorcraft units....all sway bar bushings are new urethane units...

I will check the leaf spring eye bushings next...
