Knock in front suspension while turning

Post by warrior » Fri Dec 30, 2011 7:45 pm

Hi, after some advice, my car has developed a KNOCK when I am turning at low speed from the front of the car (cant hear it when a bit faster) seems ok in a straight line..........any ideas?

Also look at steering rack ends, and tie rod ends.
