I just completed a total rebuild of my 1994 E32 front suspension/steering. If you have not done so already, get the front end up in the air and check the front wheels for play. I suspect that your tie rods are ready for replacement. As for the knocking, check the stabiliser links. I replaced mine along with the stabiliser bushies and eliminated the knocking. You do not mention mileage, however you should check the strut inserts (shocks) as they may be shot. This would explain in part the high speed instability you are experiencing. Another focus area would be the upper/lower control arms.
