Default Knocking noise

Hey guys my escort rs turbo 90 spec has a problem, when am driven theres this horrible knocking noise coming from what i think the frount of the car, it gets worse when am turning left and right at speed 15mph +?? The car has just been mot'd no more then a week ago, i have replaced the rear wheel bareings, both rear brake drums, both outer cv + boot joints, full set of brand new konis fited. but after doing all this the noise has not gotten better or worse?? The gear box seems fine aswell as the stearing rack

Can any one help pls, only thing that i can think of is the iner cv joints or frount wheel bareings??

Thanks Rab

Wheel bearings wouldnt knock mate and cv joints are more of a click rather than a knock

Bushes all good? Who fitted the shocks?

is the noise when you go over bumps? if so bottom ball joint. is it when going over bumps with one wheel? if so anti roll bar bushes. or is it when accelerating/decellarating ? if so engine or gearbox mount, wheel bearings and cv joints dont knock at all no matter how worn they just click or howl

No mate it just when am driving or turning both left and right, its more of a clicking noise if i think about it. You can feel it vibrating under your feet.
