Unhappy

I've got an MY98,

whilst driving on saturday had a knocking coming from underneath my car, which sounds like the knock from a c/v joint. Seems worse when i drive around a corner in a high gear at slow speed's, so i jacked up the car but could not see anything obvious, and i am not that mecanicly minded on how this AWD and the diffs work.

anyone know what it could be

It could very well be a CV joint - they do wear out sometimes. Is there any play in the drive shaft?

If not, then it could be the lower ball joint (under the hub) I have heard of these making knocking noises before.
