Ok if it is coming from the passenger side and is a knocking type of noise it can be an issue with the subframe mounting, sway bar linkage or steering rack. If it is coming from the front wheel area it can be a strut. You will want to do a full inspection of the under chassis of the vehicle for any loose components. Lower control arm bushings are a common thing to see as well.

Ok will that be hard to fix or can I do it with simple tools?

The control arm can be a little tricky, but basic hand tool can be used. Separating the lower ball joint can be a task for the control arm. It is hard to be certain until you know for sure what the noise is coming from.
