Question about 1997 Chevrolet S-10 Pickup

I have a 97 chevy s10 and their is a knocking noise when i turn left or right

Any time I turn but especially when i stop the truck entirely, like at a stop sign, then make a turn their is a knockin noise until i get the truck driving straight again. It also happens when i am parked and attempt to pull away from the crub. its much worse when im turning left, the problem seems to get worse after i have been driving rough roads (AKA Dirt) then driving on pavement. i was thinking it might be CV joint or spider gears? any ideas would be a help.

What is happening is your spider gears and side axle gears are probably going out... it might also be the ring and pinion... just happened to my 2000 S10 and turns out spider gears were toasted... have a mechanic check out your differential. you pop the clutch alot?

97 Chevy S10 rear end squeek that goes away when brakes are applied

If you have rear disc brakes, one of the rotors could be warped and causing the pads to move in the caliper.
You should be able to remove one wheel at a time, lock down the rotor with the lug nuts, and put the trans in low gear or reverse to listen for the noise.

I have a 1994 Chevy Silverado and every time I turn on the ignition, the knocking noise begins from under the dash somewhere. If I remove the fuse to the a/c/heater it doesn't make a sound when I

Try starting the truck so it makes the noise.
Then switch the air control to "fresh".
If noise stops, it is probably the motor that closes flap to recycle the cab air.
It would be found under the dash, under the glove box, & would need to be replaced.

2008 Chevy Impala, V-8, is making a rubbing/light grinding noise after a bump or especially when turning left. Problem is intermittent.

Right front bearing. When turning left it puts more pressure on the right side. Have this checked

Knocking when i turn right, was told it was cv joint, so changed right handside as thats the side all the noise comes from, but still not stopped knocking. have i changed the wrong side, or is it something...

yes you changed the wrong side if it knocks when you turn right its the left side because turning right shifts all the wait on the left side and puts a load on the joint causing it to knock

2000 Chevy Malibu making knocking sound when AC is on

Is it noisy with only the blower fan on or does the A/C have to be on to get the noise.
Try using the heater only and see if the noise is present.
Let me know.

Knocking noise in the engine.

You have a Lifter and Rocker Arm Tapping. You will need to Take off the Valve Covers and Listen for the Tap. When you Locate it Tighten Down Until it stops and then Back it off 1/8 of a Turn.
