'93 ZX knocks when turning, but it's not the CV joints?

About 18 months ago I had the passenger side CV joint replaced when it
started knocking as cornered.

I started to get the same noise again recently and quite reasonably
assumed that it was the other side failing. But a quick trip to the
garage revealed both joints to be sound, and the guy at the garage was
puzzled as to where it was coming from.

Basically accelerating around a corner causes a knock-knock-knock
noise until the torque drops then all is well. It's also predominantly
left hand corners that cause it, accelerating around a roundabout (in
the UK) doesn't seem to have much effect.

It's a '93 ZX 1.9D Automatic (non-turbo).

Anyone shed some light on this perhaps?

Regards,
Jason.

Could be something to do with the 'power steering' or suspension.

I had something similar in a ZX years ago and it turned out to be a cracked
crown wheel in the gearbox (which is where the diff is too - therefore noise
only when cornering). Of course it might not be that !
