this probably won't help you too much, but i feel like i heard about something like this on cartalk once. maybe if they have an archive you could search that. in the end i seem to remember that the problem wasn't actually that big, even though it sounded like the wheel was about to fall off. i think something was locking up.

good luck

Holding at full lock is very bad for your power steering system. Does the knocking sound like a cv joint?

Sounds like a bad CV joint, replace the offending axle with a rebuilt unit. Also make sure the front stabilizer isn't broken on one end. TG
