   hi all,
   
   got a 01 saxo 1.1 lol
   
   couple of problems as ud expect the main problem being when im taking a corner not thrashing it but abit quick (as u do) there seems to be a knocking when im straightening up
   
   i have no idea what this could be.. hope it not the power steering pump on the way out...
   
   any ideas guys??
   
   Cheers

   Sounds like a driveshaft to me, Jack the car up and see if theirs any movement in it. Also check for split gaitors and leaking grease, could just be a case of packing it back with grease and your well in son

   Yup +1 check the driveshaft CV joint.
   
   Also check suspension could be snapped spring, top mount
