knocking sound

[stella2345]

hi there does any one have any idea what the knocking sound is coming from drivers side front wheel every time i turn left

[SaxoAL]

could be suspension related (wish bone, track rod end, worn bushes)
or driveshaft realted. (Dead shaft, worn CV Gaiter)

Check for any play in wheel movement (with car jacked up)
check for any Grease around wheels etc.
get a friend to move the wheel while you listen to the area in question.
