Hey guys i seem to have a knocking noise when i turn my steering wheel in my DC5R especially noticable when i turn hard. Just a single knock. I know its not the driveshafts or cv joints coz they were just replaced. Could it be something to do with the steering linkage? Also the engine and gearbox mounts are fine too so it cant be those. Has anyone else had this kinda problem in their DC5R?
Chhers guys!

have you touched your cars suspension ?

sounds like your tie rod ends are loose or too tight or at an excess angle relevant to the steering angle.

Need to knwo what mods are done to your car.

Could be either Steering rack components.

Or if you have coilovers the plates are loose.

Or your wheels are knocking / rubbing against inner chasis or the hub components if your car is slammed.
