knock

Hi, I have a series 2VY executive police pack which I bought with a cracked head with plants to fix it only to find out that once I did fix it. The engine was knocking quite bad which I think was pistons slap as I could wiggle the piston inside the side in the engine with just my hands, anyway...

OMFG.... For over a month now, Ive been chasing this noise. Every time I turn left, but more so to the right, I would get this little tap, or knock sound from the front of the car, underneath or near my feet. Wouldn't do it while sitting still, even when turning the wheels from lock to lock...

G'day all I have a VP Commodore that steering knocks when turning right hand side full lock It is basically doing the same as what a front wheel drive car would when the CV's are shagged, ie: the harder right i turn the worse it knocks, or if i turn easy right and avoid u-turns, i can...
