CV Joint (Constant Velocity Joint):
- The CV joint, responsible for transmitting power from the transmission to the wheel, might be worn or damaged. Slight steering adjustments can temporarily relieve the pressure on the joint, causing the noise to disappear.
Wheel Bearing:
- A faulty wheel bearing can produce a knocking sound that may change or disappear during turns. Worn bearings cause play in the wheel hub, creating the knocking noise.
Suspension Components:
- Damaged or worn suspension components, such as ball joints, tie-rod ends, or control arm bushings, could also cause knocking noise when the steering is turned.
It's crucial to have the vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to accurately diagnose the problem and ensure safe driving.
