Default knocking or clicking on full lock

Well after putting in a complete new n\s driveshaft and 2 new wishbones, iam getting a knocking sound on full lock both left and right going forwards and when reversing but only from the n\s which has had the new driveshaft.....what could it be, its not popping out the gearbox like the old one was, but certainly doesnt sound right, the wheels arnt catching the strut either or rubbing. Only started doing this after about 10 miles driving on the new driveshaft

seems to knock at about the speed of a full turn of the road wheel

wonder if its the o\s driveshaft but its sounds like its from the n\s.

heard all sorts of things, wheel bearings, top suspension mounts, broken spring etc etc

driving in a straight line and breaking seems fine, its only when turning going forward or in reverse

well its a brand new complete driveshaft including cv joint on the n\s only done like 10 miles, could it be the o/s defo sounds like the n\s the noise is coming from though

feels unstable like the wheels loose when going around roundabouts, ive checked the wheel bolts and there all fine, wonder if its a wheel bearing ?

Only way to be for sure is to get someone to stand outside the car and listen as you drive on full lock.
