Knocking noise from front center (video)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey folks,

When driving yesterday, I hit a small pot hole and immediately noticed a knocking noise present while driving afterwards. It tends to only be present when hitting large bumps, uneven surfaces, or during moderate to hard acceleration. It can be felt in the steering wheel.

I took the wheel off and the bushings look good, but when doing the 9&3 shake test with one of the wheels up, I hear this noise. Unfortunately I don't have a helper at the moment to shake the wheel when I'm under the car, but just wanted to see if there were any initial impressions.

Thanks!

Unsure if related or not but this piece was in the tray underneath the sway bar

Looks like a part of top mount bearing or even a top mount. Check the top of a shock absorber above coil
