I think I know what you mean, maybe engine pillows aren't good, is that what you want to say ? < don't think so, but anyways will try it, Wed.

Thank you guys. I'm, going to change ball joints and outer tie-rod rubber, just realized that is combination of those, that is why is knocking.
Will right back in here in a few weeks.
By the way I don't see any problems on CV-Joints, they look just fine, not even a bit of grease on them.

An old but very good C/V joint test is to make slow turns at almost full lock in both directions, like in a parking lot.
Listen for clicks and clacks.

just after inspection CV are great almost new ! So I'm telling: after I changed tie rod ends the knocking on turns is gone, but now it's a type of knocking only while driving 20Mph-30Mph! HUH ?! What could it be ? Steering rack ?

 

[Raydi]

done knocking is gone ball joints and tie-rod ends. ONLY BOOTS CHANGED, free inspection alignment check shows 0,0. Total: $31 for front ball joint boots and tie rod ends' boots.

Will post some manual as soon as get some free time to upload pics.
