You need to do the shock bolts VERY (obviously within reason) tight. They is so much pressure on them it's so easy for them to come loose. Exactly the same happened to me and yes it sounded like a knocking noise.
Just tighten them and it should solve it.

No worries, very unlikely to be anything else if you have only touched them.

Let's hope he tightened them with the car on the floor and not up in the air, otherwise it may be a case of early bush death soon to come o.O
Speaking of which, I still have a set of 180 shocks sat under my bed that I havent yet fitted lol!

I thought I had tightened mine but they rattled a fair bit so put quite a lot of pressure on them and have been fine ever since
Lazy ste, hardly difficult
