    As per fourringsrus reply, any of those could be possible.

    Certainly from experience, if your CV boot has split and over time the packing has leaked, then effectively the ball joint of the drive shift is then free to move around - hence the knocking noise. Which as you describe is more apparent on turning circles.

    So this needs to be sorted quickly otherwise instead of just paying for a new cv boot to be fitted which costs enough itself, then a whole new drive shaft may be needed which then means both sides!!!

    In short get it looked at sooner rather than later to save your pocket
