Knocking from front end drivers side???? - Dannyetches - 11-07-2013

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can help me, I've got a knocking noise coming from the front of my car when accelerating, it feels like its coming from uner my feet on the drivers side and gets louder the more I accelerate???
Maybe could be the driveshaft?
Also when the car is stationery, if I turn to full lock either way there is a terrible creaking noise from the same side? Dunno if this is the same thing? Any help would be very much appreciated
Thanks in advance

Check your p bushes best way to check is stand at front of car put your foot on the tyre and try push it towards the back same again but try push it towards the front by pushing from back of the wheel, do same for other side of car little movement is ok but if its quote a bit there got and new replacing

sounds like driveshaft joint and top mount bearing

if its one single knock when you accelerate then look to wishbone but if its a constant 'knock knock knock' then shafts

Could also be the control arm ball joint. I had this early this week. Turned out to be the ball joint
