It's the bushes in the top mount. Once they compress/wear over time it allows the damper shaft to move up and down that worn amount and so you hear that knocking when you go over bumps.
So my suspension used to knock, which I assumed was shock knock. When I had the coilovers fitted this would have cured it because of the new top mounts, correct?
