'93 ZX knocks when turning, but it's not the CV joints?

Feb 24, 2006 2 Replies

About 18 months ago I had the passenger side CV joint replaced when it started knocking as cornered.



I started to get the same noise again recently and quite reasonably assumed that it was the other side failing. But a quick trip to the garage revealed both joints to be sound, and the guy at the garage was puzzled as to where it was coming from.



Basically accelerating around a corner causes a knock-knock-knock noise until the torque drops then all is well. It's also predominantly left hand corners that cause it, accelerating around a roundabout (in the UK) doesn't seem to have much effect.



It's a '93 ZX 1.9D Automatic (non-turbo).



Anyone shed some light on this perhaps?



Regards, Jason.


Could be something to do with the 'power steering' or suspension.
