If a knocking noise is coming from the engine then either you need a rebuild or need to back off your timing/run higher octane fuel. Since it happens when you turn I'm guessing that it isn't coming from your engine. Is it more of a clunking sound coming from beneath you? If you rev the engine in park, can you hear the sound?
