    Default Knocking noise when steering full lock and driving

    Hi. New to this here and was wondering if anyone was able to help. I have a 56 plate vectra 1.9cdti. When i turn the steering to full lock it makes a knocking noise until full lock is on. I noticed when i put my window down whilst driving there is a loud knocking noise coming from the wheel aswell. I was thinking maybe a ball joint or something like that but im not very good with cars mechanically. Does anyone have any ideas?

    If the knock changes speed when you accelerate or decelerate and its doing it mostly when your locking your wheels round i'd hazard a guess at CV joint on one of your drive shafts

    Reach under the car, grab each cv joint and move in and out (towards the engine and then back towards the wheel) there should be tiny play but no knock, replacing my Ns driveshaft tomorrow as I had a knock like you've described for a while and couldn't figure it out until I tried each joint.
