Just started hearing a knocking from the front OS wheel (pretty much in time with the rotation) when I turn left (when weight is thrown on this wheel). It isn't affected by brakes or clutch so I'm guessing it's related to driveshaft/wheel bearing/ball joints etc.

 

Just wondered if anyone has experienced similar before I get my hands dirty.

 

Late 80's carb model with 10" wheel conversion.

Very quick/easy thing to check is are the wheel nuts all tight.
