Handle shaft axial bearing play can be a factor - it's a sum of all parts.

Re: Knocking sound from baitcasters
I think its slop in the gears and the pinion teeth are smacking the main gear theeth. My LINs don't do it but have the same slop in the in pinion yoke but super tight gearing. With the reels that do it the noise comes when I rock the spool back and forth but a split second after the spool pin contacts the pinion yoke.
