constant knocking

Hi I'm a new member looking for a bit of help please

I have a FL2 2014 and it has developed a constant knocking from the front N/S (I think) when I turn the steering wheel to the right even slightly but stops when straighten up or slightly turn to the left. Its my first LR 4x4

I would jack that side of the car up see if there is any movement in that wheel and have a look under if there are any obvious signs like loose nuts or worn and split rubbers etc.

I've just been under it it doesn't appear to be anything obvious. There is no movement in the wheel the drive shaft is solid no movement no leakage.

Anti-roll bar links are prone to wearing and clunking. Quick, easy and cheap to replace too. I've got to do one of the rear of mine.

Get a tourch and check the spring, mainly near the bottom thats where mine snapped, hard to spot without the tourch.

CV joint is where i would put my money. Super easy on left side, a bit more complex but still DIY on right hand side.
