Unhappy 2013 LW Focus Ambiente - Knocking Sound On Sharp Left Turns

Can anybody help me, im getting disappointed with the Knocking Sound on my 2013 LW Focus MKII Ambiente Auto 1.6L during a sharp left turn or reverse and low speed. The car has already clocked +/- 63,000kms.

The sound is so noisy just like when you are shaking a spray paint rapidly, this happens mostly when going down the basement ramp and steering in a left direction where the weight of the car is mostly concentrated towards the front.

The only cosmetic change i did on the exterior was the 4 16" rims to 17" rims and kept the overall diameter of the wheel the same.

The problem surfaced after we made a family holiday trip from canberra to brisbane then back to canberra. Eversince that trip the annoying sound did not go off and is becoming louder. I never found the culprit of this problem.

These are the changes I made in the car's front since the problem surfaced:
1. Strut mounts left and right (ford)
2. Strut mount bearings left and right. (Ford)
3. Sway link bars left and right. (Northlane)
4. Changed stock cv joints to GSP aftermarket cv joints left and right.
5. Brought the car to ford for the transmission extended warranty shuddering repair
6. Replaced all 3 engine mounts. (Aftermarket, Hardrace)
7. Replaced lower arm assembly left and right. (Aftermarket, Hardrace)
6. Changed Aftermarket Cv Joints back to Ford original part left and Right.

Still the annoying knocking sound keeps on coming back on the same maneauvers of making sharp left turns and going down the ramp. I don't know what to change already. Could somebody help me out? Thanks!
