Evening all,
I’ve just collected my 2016 leaf for 6th attempt of a dealer to try and solve a knocking noise to no avail.
It sounds and feels like it’s coming from the near side front wheel. The car also physically jumps at the same time.
It only happens on a very cold start when turning the wheel in any direction.
There are some videos here:

In just the right position it almost feels like the whew is going to fall off.
So far the dealer has:
Replaced the brake disks
Tightened some loose bolts on a frame
Replaced a cvt joint that was leaking grease
Replaced a driveshaft (and replaced the new one again believing it had failed)
Forgive me if the above does not explain enough as I am in no way technical.
The dealer is trying to say they cannot replicate the fault now and believe they have fixed it - they would not come out with me today so I could show them they hadn’t fixed it which was frustrating.
Any ideas please? I have scoured the forums and google and the only thing that comes close is a possible suspension issue?
