Hey guys any info will be appreciated

Basically when I stop or make a turn past 45deg I hear 2 knocks coming from the front near the wheels. if I turn full lock the to the opposite side I hear it and I tried to lift the front of the car to see something when I turn the steering wheel but then it won't make the sound
Could this be ball joints???

Sit with the same sound on my S14, did the suspension with new bushes and all that is left to check is the one ball joint and steering rack. Let me know if you found your solution. Rgds Riaan

I had a poke around today, in my case anyway the tie rod bush is shot!
