Knocking noise on corners

Hey all,

I have a 5efhte ep82 starlet with an lsd and a few other goodies. My car has started making knocking & banging noises on corners, particularly at low speed and under load. There doesnt appear to be any issues in a straight line. My assumption was that it was the outside cv's and I had them replaced but the noise is still there. I can only assume now that it is either the TRD LSD or the inner cv's.

My questions are as follows:

1) Has anyone had similar issues?
2) How likely is it for the inner cv's to give out? I know im pushing alot more power than a standard starlet (200hp).
3) Is this a common issue for the TRD LSD's?

Any other suggestions would be appreciated

my starlet started making this noise and on inspection i found that the inner cv boot had split and was no grease left in it so could only assume that this had nackered the inner cv

it happened mine an jacked up the car had look at all Cv's and the outer drivers side one is
fukered, the boot was burst and no grease on it at all causing knocking when conering or
at full lock.

Most aftermarket LSD's do this but to a different degree.But he did say it only started happening which would lead me to believe that its not in fact the LSD.
Id would have said CV joint but seeing as htey got done id say bushing around the wheel. Track rod,wishbone etc . Thats if the CV's were fitted correctly inside and out.

I had this aswel, but checked cv's and all seemed to be okay, sometimes it comes from front and sometimes back(i think). Whats best to do?

I have the same thing on my passenger side front. I changed the outer cv joint last week thinking that was it but still doing it. I have non LSD box. Some info to would be great.
