I've been searching around on this for a while now, and can't seem to find anyone with a pull and a knocking...
Knocking
At low speeds, such as parking up, I get a couple of knocks from the left hand side, that I can feel it through the wheel and sounds as though it's coming from the left. Its when under heavy load, like going towards full lock right comign out of a parking spot.
Pulling
The car always pulls to the left, immediatley veers if I let go of the wheel. It also doesn't self-centre after turning left (I could take a smooth left corner with no hands on the wheel as it sticks in that position.
I do have a sticky front left caliper, which is being sorted tomorrow - but wouldn't expect this degree of pull from that.
Any ideas? Not sure where to start looking, read so many threads ranging from engine mount issues, top mounts, ball joints, track rod ends and the dreaded steering rack (I'm paranoid about the latter, so snapped up a rack from eBay for £21 that can be refurbed to swap out when needed)
Cheers in advance!
