Knocking when turning left NOT U JOINT
I have had a knocking when I turn left only. It's out of my passenger side wheel. I replaced the u joint which was in fact bad. For the next two days there was no noise. Now the noise is back but in a MUCH duller form and it is inconsistent. Sometimes it makes the noise. Sometimes it doesn't. More so at a lower speed. I replaced all the ball joints and passenger u joint. Any ideas?

Any one have any ideas? I noticed it stops when I brake. I'm trying to sell the xj so I need to get under there and fix it.

Hey all, just got my notifications. I already replaced the sway bar bushings. Nothin loose on the exhaust. I'm worried its going to be the bearings. Why would it be a part on the drivers side making the passenger side knock?
Thanks guys.
Thanks guys.

I know you said "NOT THE U JOINT"... but have you checked it anyway?
I cannot tell you how many times I've heard people say "I just replaced it so it can't be broken", yet sure enough... it's broken. In fact a kid training at the shop i work at just did the drive shaft u joints in his Mustang. Brought it back in the next day because it was making noise... turns out one of the u joints failed. Cap came off.
If I were you I'd closely inspect the u joints you did. Not saying you f'ed it up, but crap happens. Take a close look at it before you assume anything.
