What causes a knocking sound in the front of the car when turning to the left?
Check the drive axle for a broken and leaking boot or bad CV joint.
Can a heat plate close to the exhaust cause a knocking sound?
Heat shields often corrode and become loose but they usually cause a tinny rattling sound. Eventually they fall off as witnessed by the dozens of them found along highways. Mechanics often remove them (with your permission) if they are loose, because they serve no purpose other than to protect the technician from a very hot catalytic converter that he/she knows not to touch anyway. A "knocking" sound, however, is more likely caused by a worn or broken exhaust hanger, allowing the exhaust system to bump the underside of the vehicle. Be sure the engine isn't causing the knocking sound, driving around a car with a knocking sound in the engine can cause MAJOR damage. Knocking from your undercarriage can also be caused by suspension components that have gone bad or are leaking fluid.

What causes a knocking sound when you turn your car?
Probably you have a bad tie rod (maybe both). You can find it on eBay (around $50.00 L&R). Knocking when turning on front wheel drive is most likely the knuckle on the axle. Look at the rubber boot on the end and I will bet it is split.

Yes
My 97 eclipse has knocking sound?
A 97 Mitsubishi Eclipse will produce a knocking sound if the ignition time is set incorrectly. This results in the valves opening at the wrong time.
What is the cause of the knocking if tie rod change?
Perhaps a worn CV joint (usually more of a clicking sound when turning), but there are many components in the front end of a motor vehicle that could cause a knocking (or similar) sound, including suspension components, brakes, steering components and bearings. Worn tie rods, by the way, do not normally cause a knocking sound, but result in very loose feeling steering and noticeable drift, especially at highway speeds. A knocking sound is more likely to be an engine problem, such as pre-ignition. If you are not accustomed to diagnosing these sounds, you will best best off to see a qualified mechanic, or a friend who is more familiar with the front-end components of a motor vehicle.
