Default KNOCKIN SOUND coming from front left wheel

Hello guys. Just want to know what's causing this annoying knocking sound from under my left front wheel everytime I turn to a right corner or on a exit ramp. Please tell me this is nothing major. Thanks for everybody who could help me.

Change your axle. It's your axle homie.
Click click click.
If that's the sound, it's your axle. Or wheel bearing.
Check for axle grease. If it's all over the place, That's your
problem, guarenteed. Check the archive sectionfor axle replacement.
With the right tools, it's an easy job. Good Luck.

Engine swap was done last August w/new axles. It never made that sound until last month and no grease whatsoever around the left wheel area. Would still be the axle or something else?

axles make a clicking noise, usually when turning, not a knocking noise. a bad bearing would make a humming, sometimes vibration noise, not a knocking. if you're getting a knocking noise, i would look at the ball joints or tie rod. also look for hydralic fluid around the struts, maybe you had a blow out. also never over look the obvious, loose bolts or nuts.
