Hi, I've got a '94 200Tdi (150k miles) and when I go round corners, I can hear a knocking sound coming from the front somewhere. It seems worse when I turn left but I can still hear it when I turn right. It also happens over uneven surfaces or if I brake sharply. I thought I could have a knackard shock - before I go renewing the front shocks, are there any other ideas what this could be?
Cheers.
 
I had similar sounds on one side of mine especialy nearer to hard lock.

One day I lost all drive, turns out it was the front left CV joint had blown up as the ball joint had leaked and was running dry.(it was when I turned left too)
 
thanks. now you mention it, sometimes when turning hard left, i feel a bit of feedback through the wheel, like it's catching slightly. The front left wheel bearing was replaced recently to pass MOT.
 
Could also be anti-roll bar bushes, top shock mounts, steering damper/mounts or one of many other steering components.

Jack her up and wiggle things!:eek:

Things on the car?...or just things in general?

Given the previous posts about ****ing while changing light bulbs, I thought I should seek clarification :p
