I have a loud knocking noise (front right), usually at lower speed. I can feel it slightly through the pedals. After reading through a number of related threads to knocking sounds, I have come to the diagnosis of worn bushes. Question is
1. Am I right?
2. Which bushes? Sway or drop-link?
3. Approx how much for parts and labour?

Agreed. Could be another likely culprit.

Re: Confirm my diagnosis
Start with the basics first. Get under the car and try wiggling the sway bar and see if it's moving in the bush. Start with that as it's the cheapest to replace.
