Default question about noise in front end

I park in a parking garage.I make about 20 right hand turns before i get to my spot.After each turn i hear 3 slight nocks.It is very slight and so far haven't got the mechanics to have heard it.Does this sound like a bad strut or something else.Thank you

Could be worn anti-sway bar end bushings or perhaps CV axle begining to fail. Check bushings and CV axle boots for damage.

good luck

Been down THIS road.

As Texashonda says, check the drive shaft boots. Highly likely one of the outer boots (boot closest to the wheel) is torn. Grease exits boot when it tears, then lubrication is gone and joint begins to "Knock" when you make sharp turns.
