Knocking from front wheel

[wehey]

Hiya all.
I wonder if someone could help to diagnose a problem for me.

I have a knocking sound coming from the Nearside front wheel when on full right lock.
Also a slight sound coming from the same wheel when going slowly in 1st and on/off the throttle?

I would presume its a worn cv joint but need to be sure before attacking it with spanners.

Thanks in advance

Sounds like a CV exactly as you say. I checked mine out when I had this issue and I saw the gaiter had perished and had no grease hence the wear causing knocking.

I'd say CV.
Mine has been knocking when turning right now for 18months. I wouldn't worry unless it's severe.

My boots are fine and all greased, it knocks from the lows.

The lows - lol. Shameful affliction.

Yeah, from my experience any issues with bearings, hubs or joints in that area work their magic on all connecting parts!
