   I've only replaced the drives side Driveshaft about 4 months ago,
   
   But now there seems to be another noise when turning Left.
   
   Doesn't sound like it did before, THeres a knock every 2 seconds.
   
   IS it defiantly driveshaft?

   CV joint ? maybe... Or the opposite drive shaft. Could also be your ball joints. Mine knocks on the drivers side and its because the rubber on the ball joint is perished.

   Wishbone nuts tightened?? check the faq on here for that, not on the forum but on the top tabs
   
   but if you replaced one driveshaft then its only a matter of time before the other side goes really, best to just jack it up and spin the wheel and check for play and strange noises though

   Only does it going round left corners, so it defiantly is the right "thing".
