This only started on Saturday
It doesn't happen when cornering at normal speeds, but whilst really pushing it and loading up the suspension on left hand turns there is a clonking sound from the front right wheel, every wheel revolution. I couldn't re-create the knocking all the time with hard cornering, and when I could it would range from a slight knock to full on clunking
I am pretty sure the wheel isn't rubbing on anything as these wheels have been used when cornering on the bumpstops at various trackdays, and are OE 16".
Could it be driveshaft / CV joint related?
Could it be wheel bearings?
Everything is fine in normal driving conditions, your thoughts please
Thanks

I've had this a couple of times when I've shown people how to drive properly, I too am at a loss, I thought it was my brakes at first but now you've raised some other good and more expensive theories.
Anyone???
