Hi all,
I’m getting a knocking noise from the passenger front wheel when only turning right.
Drop links and all rubbers have been replaced.
When I’ve had a look under the car and shook the wheel I can’t find anything.
Anyone got ideas ?
Tia

Cv? On the front? Nah. Sounds like something's been left loose in there, assuming it didn't make the same noise before the bits got changed. Jack it up, put it on stands and have a good look. Or leave it on the floor and look while someone rocks the steering for you. Or both.

Not likely to be a CV, more likely to be a top mount

Update on this
I found it, had to take the suspension strut out
Was a loose ball joint that wasn’t tight enough the one that bolts to the subframe off the wishbone
What a pain, all that noise for 2 turns of a screw !!!!
Thanks for all the comments :)
