hi dezman welcome!!
A little tip when asking this sort of question - just put a few details about the van ie swb/lwb year etc it will help with the diagnosis!!

I'm with luke here.......details are the key.

No point me saying it sounds like a knackered bottom ball joint to find out you've got an old un with a beam axle

sorry mate ive got a 1995 transit 150 swb "ex rac van "

In that case

Jack the vehicle up and support it safely

Turn the steering left to right to confirm the noise.

Place the the jack under the lower wishbone on the noisy side, and raise the wheel approx 2" Place a bar between the ground and the wheel and lever the wheel upwards. If you feel any upward free play you've got a worn bottom ball joint.

DO NOT PUT YOUR FINGERS BETWEEN THE WHEEL AND THE GROUND

if your in any doubt about what your doing.......stop and ask. you'll find you need your fingers more than the van does.
