Apologies first off all, I've searched (on Tapatalk) on my phone as I'm not near a computer.
Please feel free to shout and scream as I'm sure there is a Fred already with this on.

At any speed, when turning either left or right, there is a knock sound coming from under the footwell. It's not really loud and it doesn't effect the steering. Have had a swift look but not seen anything obvious.
I will have another look tomorrow.
Any initial suggestions of what to look out for?

Thanks

Just the one knock? or a series of them as the driveline rotates?

Could it be a worn bush in the suspension somewhere? Track rod, drag link, steering damper even steering column U/Js . Just throwing some ideas at you ;)
 
If it seems to be under the footwell then it'll be a drop link most likely. Might be an antiroll bar bush but my money is on a worn droplink.

HTH

EDIT - I fitted Allmakes droplinks front and rear 2 years or so ago. A rear one wore so much the ball end popped out of the assembly and a front one snapped, both around 18 months after fitting. Not good, especially as I only do mild greenlaning! I've fitted Bearmach this time and they seemed a bit better made.

Whoops. Forgot to update: anti roll bar corroded. Causing the knock. Garage replaced and is all good.

Also had a judder/pulsing feeling through brake pedal and a steering wheel shake when braking.
I replaced worn front discs and pads and it's as smooth as a porcupines toenail now under braking.
