   I get a nocking noise when turning left, replaced both driveshafts and cv boots but didn't make a difference. Anything else that could be causing a problem?

   Do you get a knock when going over bumps?

   The more I accelerate out of a corner the worse it is, sounds pretty horrific when I turn left. But no it only does it when straightening up from turning

   Sounds like a top mount issue. As you turn, the strut is moving out at the bottom n sounds like the splines r jumping out your hub. Check your bushes etc.
