knocking sound.
I just put new coilovers on my hatch... and they are mad low, ive hit many bumps and my shocks have been blown before i installed the coilovers... while i was installing the coilovers I noticed something was leaking from around the wheel and axle and was dripping off of the tire when the car was lifted... i was like an oil or grease... and whenever i make a left turn i hear a small but noticeable knock... any ideas what could be wrong??? my guess was cv joint.. because my axles are only like a year and some change old. any help is appreciated.

my shocks have leaked like completely... there soo bad that they dont even have any liquid left to leak from.... its on the drivers side. It cant be the shock because I hear the noise when I turn left

and the fluid that is in the strut is more like a black charcoal color... and it wouldnt make a noise... my father is gonna buy the cv joint for me tomorrow morning even tho im not even sure that its the problem. i think its kind of a dumb move from him but..idk

only other fluid that matches that (that i know of) would be power steering -
its almond color and slightly less viscous than motor oil
i highly doubt its the cv joint....dont go wasting money unless you know that is what is wrong.
bad joints CLICK continuously...they do not knock or thud
besides, axle grease is very heavy, thick, and usually dark green
(oh, and ive had more than one set of blown shocks w/ light tan fluid....)
