i have a loud knock on the seicento it seems to be coming from the front offside wheel area when i turn the wheel to the right there is a slight knock but when i turn back to the left it makes a really loud cracking noise anyone have any idea what could be causing this would be very grateful for any suggestions thanks:bang:
 
Check the steering rack ball joints on each side, driver and pass, they should rotate a little but have no slack...

Exciting if one goes...

Knocks could be track rod ends, lower ball joints, inner wishbone arm mounting rubbers worn, strut top mount, worn strut.
Best get the front jacked up, support on axle stands and have a wiggle (of the wheel) and see if anythings moving that shouldn't. It helps to have an assistant with a long pry bar.
 
i just noticed a similar problem (minus the cracking part... knocks a little when i turn the wheel to the right, then knocks again when i turn it to the left again). What do you mean by the top mount, the front shock top mount?
