A experienced ear can usually identify the type of problem just by the sound.
To Narrow down the location try:- Shorting Each cylinder so it does not fire, if the knock goes away or substantially reduces for one you have narrowed you search to one cylinder.
- Use a mechanics stethoscope, this will localise the noise and lead you to valves, bottom end, piston or timing system
- If this is a Common Rail injected unit a computer scanner to shut off injectors will help.

What is the cause of the knocking if tie rod change?
Perhaps a worn CV joint (usually more of a clicking sound when turning), but there are many components in the front end of a motor vehicle that could cause a knocking (or similar) sound, including suspension components, brakes, steering components and bearings. Worn tie rods, by the way, do not normally cause a knocking sound, but result in very loose feeling steering and noticeable drift, especially at highway speeds. A knocking sound is more likely to be an engine problem, such as pre-ignition. If you are not accustomed to diagnosing these sounds, you will best best off to see a qualified mechanic, or a friend who is more familiar with the front-end components of a motor vehicle.
