    Knocking from front right corner.

    I get a knocking sound (knock knock knock knock) from the front right wheel area when turned, doing between 80 and 100km/h and turned about 30 degrees on the wheel.

    Any ideas? Sound is there power on, power off, and braking. but if i move the wheel either side of that point, the sound goes away.

    if you leave your car too long with a broken engine mount it WILL tear off the weld that holds your subframe on
