Knocking noise when turning certain corners

Featured Replies

I've been having this knocking noise coming from the passengers side front end when turning tight corners. I've checled the drive shafts out and they're all in good condition. I had an MOT a couple of days ago, hoping that they would pick something up, but nope, they passed it all. Yesterday when I was driving, my passenger said they could feel the knock by their feet when it happened. I think it might be getting worse as well. Does anyone have any ideas of what it could be?

Cheers :)

oh ye, if the car is stationary and I turn the wheels full lock both ways, there is no noise at all.

top mounts tend to make the car make a banging noise on lock, also might want to check the 15mm brake caliper bolts just in case.

Thanks for the reply Liz.

I chucked the car up on some axle stands this morning and took the wheels off to have a look for any loose parts. Took a couple of videos...

Sorry about the poor video, but I didn't have anyone to hold the camera whilst I turned the wheels but you can hear the click noise, but it is a lot louder when moving around a corner. It sounds like its coming from the top of the suspension, so would you say this is the top mount?

Also,

Is it normal to be able to turn it like that?

Also, do you know if this is all I need and the correct part to fix the noise from the top mount? Thanks
