Unless you've stuffed up & haven't torqued the 32mm nut correctly, as i said before my guess is the inner tripod joint is put togther arse about.
That is, when you removed it to replace/work on the outer CV, it didn't go back together the right way around (I'm talking about the plates & bearings inside the joint)
Or if you didn't pull the inner off/apart, it's popped & one or more of the plates/bearings have become dislodged from the drive pins & there's your noise.
Otherwise, maybe you're going to have to get someone to look at it.

what toda said somewhere along the line you ****ed it

Bent control arm and front hub wheel bearing gooonneeee.

On reflection this thread is a good example of how not to ask a question.
Members who have questions should take note (& Kris, don't take offence)
After reading all of this thread with 20/20 hindsight, this thread would have been better started like this:

"The car was making a loud knocking sound from the front wheel area...
Thinking the noise was the driveshafts, I replaced them with new ones.
Now I can rule out the shafts as changing them had no effect on the sound.
What could it be?"

Answers are easier to arrive at when the whole story is clear.
Anyway, good to hear you've got it sorted. :thumbsup:
