Odd Knock turn the wheel to reverse back?

Hello Kevin,

I have seen the CV axle wear and cause a pop noise but I would check the sway bar links and control arm bushing as well. I would also look is the front strut top mounts/bearings. If these lock up they will pop. You will need a flashlight and to raise the car up to check these, please go over this video to help.

1. Steering rack mounting bolts/bushings — rack movement can cause a single knock when steering load changes.
2. Inner tie rods — sometimes they knock only under steering load and do not feel obvious during a basic shake test.
3. Subframe bolts/bushings — a slightly shifting subframe can make one knock when loading/unloading the front suspension.
4. Brake caliper bolts/pads — loose caliper hardware or pads shifting in the bracket can make a single clunk during direction changes.
5. Coil spring ends — check for a broken lower coil or spring not seated correctly in the perch.
6. CV axle outer joints — even if they feel tight, a worn outer CV can knock at full lock, though it usually clicks repeatedly rather than making one single knock.

Here is a guide to help as well
