cv joint, which direction do you turn when it happens?.

[ryanbrook]

both, mainly right though, would a cv cause knocking though?

[jamie16v]

a worn cv joint can normally sound like a train on a track - clickety clack - train on a track - clickety clack train on a track - clickety clack - train on a track - clickety clack train on a track - clickety clack - train on a track - clickety clack train on a track - clickety clack - train on a track - clickety clack

yeah could be a cv. have a look at your cv boots to see if any are split. they rarely fail unless they lose their grease.

[ryanbrook]

previously checked this and the cv boot was fine, anyhow i took it off and chucked some more grease in there anyway. still knocking though

[ryanbrook]

Also when turning sometimes it doesn't make a sound, then couple days later it will knock.

[gazareth]

if its knocking while your turning the steering it could be a partially seized strut top bearing.

Can be wheel bearing when you turn puts load that side car. Does it happen both way you turn?

Jack the car up and grab hold of the driveshaft and try to rotate it, there should be minimal amount of play in it.
