a knocking noise when i turn wheels
I noticed on the way home that when I make a turn onto a street (at low speeds) I noticed a knocking noise that is not extremely loud but noticeable and I could feel the knock under my feet and seat like it was coming from underneath the car. Can any of you suggest what you think it may be?
Not positive but seems like it is worse when turning left than right although I hear it either way I turn. Also I cant seem to hear it when speeds are .... lets say over 20 to 25 mph.

Could be the tie-rods going bad, could be an alignment problem that has the tie-rods grossly misaligned, could be cold tires hopping, could also be the inner wheel weights hitting the control arms....I've heard all these answers in the past few months. How many miles do you have on your car, and have you recently realigned or lowered it?
