95 Nissan Maxima QX 2.0 - Knocking from steering - Manwithaplan

I love this car but have a problem - a faint knocking sound when the wheel is turned, most noticeable when manoeuvring at parking speeds. Noise doesn't occur when turning at full lock. Can also be heard when turning wheel with engine off. Any advice appreciated!

Car passed MOT in May.

I am guessing CV joints: test them for freeplay using the manufacturer guidance. I am not sure about why it disappears when on full lock. Otherwise, I'd be inclined to test all steering/ suspension components for freeplay etc.
