    Default Unsolved noise problem

    Hi, first time posting here. I'm very eager to get a problem with my car fixed as it seems no mechanic knows whats going on with my car. I'm sick of paying them for parts that they think is going to fix it and a few weeks later the noise is back.
    I have a problem where when ever i turn a corner left or right, my car starts making a loud knocking sound some thing like "toc toc toc toc..." until the corner is finished and only way do avoid this sound is to drive slower than an old person around corners. The more weight in the car the louder the sound gets and when its fully loaded with passengers the knocking sound occurs when accelerating at normal speed. When i take a corner sharp, there is sometimes a bang sound and the car jolts a bit. It freaks me out.

    Something else i've noticed is that when the car is hoisted up on a lift, the car will no longer make the noise after it comes back on the ground for about a week or so after, its like something is miss alligned?
    I've had this problem for almost a year now, can someone please help?

    without seeing or driving the car I would have to say it has IRS and the drive shafts are worn.

    More information required.

    What has been replaced?
    What has been tested? How was it tested?
    Modifications?
    Driving history? crash/hoon etc.
    Is it a cyclic noice during wheel rotation?

    I can't remeber the parts which have been replaced, i didn't find it relevant to remeber that at the time.
    What has been tested: Dono, not a mechanic.
    No mods
    I have a perfect driving record, and im 25. I do not hoon around in it, its simply A to B transport.
    I don't know if you'd class the noise as a cylic noise but it has its own rythm, the fast you are going the quicker the noise.
