A knock when not under load

[Djw John]

Bit confused by this but if I come off a roundabout at speed as the right front loads up the left front starts to knock, quickly and loudly. Almost convinced myslef its the cv joint but having run french for years I'm now an eternal pessimist!

There seems to be no other symptoms, no knock whilst on full lock when parking, nothing.

So is it cv joint, balljoint or low gerabox oil thats all swilling to the other side?

Cheers
John

Anyone know?

I wouldn't imagine it is gearbox or cv joint related.

I would have a look at the top mounts or the wishbone ball joint.

Failing that, I'd have a look at the gearbox mount under the battery.
