Im sad I've had to post two different help topics consecutively. :/

It started a couple days ago, and is a consistent knock (Probably about 2 times a second at 25-30 MPH) and when I turn left, it is louder and more agressive, but when I turn right it ceases. Also when I'm coming to a stop it sometimes sounds like plastic being pushed around(Kind of like twisting an empty water bottle) and other times sounds like two different metal pieces scraping together.


anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Wheel bearing or axle or cv joint. I'd go with wheel bearing

Maybe even a ball joint?

Ball joint usually makes a popping noise over bumps not moving

Yeah true, it does sounds something like a bearing that dried out or something
