Today I noticed a knocking sound coming from what sounds like the front left (drivers side). When I accelerate and when I brake the sound stops. The sound also stops when I am going around a bend in the road as well as when I change lanes. When I am turning a corner I do not hear the sound. Could anyone give me some help on what might be causing this?

It might be a worn left side half shaft.

When these wear out they usually make noise while cornering. But yours may have failed where the opposite is happening.

Have someone inspect the half shaft to see if that’s the source of the noise.

Agreed with Tester.
