Default Knocking noise

So lately I have had this knocking noise coming from under my jeep when ever I turn. I am fairly certain its the front drive shaft thats messed up again and is wobbling. Could it be the drive shaft or something else binding up?

Hello mwdouglas, what is the problem if its a constant banging through out the turn or when backing up? I have searched everywhere but cannot seem to find an answer. Could it be the u-joints?

if its a constant noise than its either the ujoints in the axle or could be ujoints in the drive shaft getting in a bind if its not a constant like mine does than it could be the uca bushings are worn out like mine are

Thanks, I think I might have to replace the u-joints this weekend.
