i sometimes get a single knock when turning left or coming off a kerb from the left front wheel.

Had both my suspention turret bearings+springs replaced FOC to try and cure it, but its still there. I would of thought they would of spotted it when taking the suspention out, may well be on the Anti roll bar bushes or lower ball joint doing it.

I had a similar issue, not so long ago...had everyone baffled... in the end it turned out to be a lose bolt in one of the rear shocks.  Suggest you check those...
