Have you tried jacking the car up and shaking each wheel to see if you can reproduce the noise with it in the air?

Can you place a jack under the tire and slowly jack it up and reproduce the sound?

ok so looks like the video above was another issue, which was due to my coil having some significant slack from the top of the shock. Went ahead and fixed that, which in turn fixed the issue of the noises coming from wiggling the wheel up and down. Unfortunately i hasn't fixed my in-drive knocking or my on-ground rocking the car back and forth knocking.

I thought i had advised you to tighten the coilover adjusters up. When I had knocking issues with Hoss-05's Stance, that is all it was. none of them were loose but when I cranked on them a few more times the noises went away.
