Default knocking and pulling

Hello people.

This is my recently late fathers focus and I now have to drive it for my mum as she does not drive.

The car has a severe pull to the left and has had two new tyres. the car also has a bloody loud knocking when turning.

Has anyone a clue what this could be.


thanks

as Jonny said, but he FORGOT to mention the knocking noise is probably going to be an outer CV joint. Ammateurs eh?
