Default Knocking noise!
Hi everyone. Could you help me? When I turn the steering wheel to the right, even slightly, there is a loud knock. It doesn't happen all the time and I notice it more when I am just moving off slowly and trning the wheel. What could this be and is it easy to fix?

Thanks

Balljoint possibly. Jack the car up and give the wheel a good waggle - you should feel it if the balljoint's knackered. Which Mondeo is it?

It's a 2000 Mondeo, 1.8. Thanks for that.
