When turning and accelerating at the same time I experience knocking on the drivers side its when turning left or right, recently done a clutch change and driveshafts look fine had the problem before that. Sounds like somethings rubbing :panic: Any ideas anyone?

CV boot?
Cv joint ;), the boot only stops the grease / oil from runing out ;)
but yeh, when it dries up, it does make a knocking noise,
mines doing the same thing, carnt find it anywere :(
and if its when your turning and it continuously keeps knocking, then its more then likll your CV joint :)
