sounds like you have a broken or worn out shock absorber Another possible answer: The Struts can be worn out. Easy way to test struts is to back off the center nut on top of strut. DO NOT TAKE NUT OFF!!!! Push down on strut shaft until it bumps the nut that you did not take off. If the shaft does not come back up, the strut is worn out. If you have difficulty pushing it down, It is ok. note: the reason you do not take the nut off is that if the strut IS bad, you wont be able to get the nut back on the shaft after you push it down. If the nut IS NOT secure on the shaft.. DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR! and another possible answer. Check the right side motor mount. I found mine to be torn and bottoming out on the bolt that goes through the center of the rubber. To check this, get a small pry bar and find a place you can pry up the motor near the mount. All you have to do is lift it 1/4 to 1/2 inch up then let it go fast. If you can duplicate the knocking sound. You found your problem. I found this out after replacing two struts (they were bad anyway) and two strut mount kits.

What is the cause of a knocking from the front end of a 2000 Pontiac grand prix when driving at low speeds?

My 2000 Grand Prix would have a low-speed knocking noise coming from the drivers side as the CV axle was failing. The loss of lubrication in the CV Boots allows the joint to make a knocking/tapping sound at a low speed. If the knocking is coming from the engine compartment, then it could be an entirely different problem.
