Wheel bearing, tie rod, ball joint, or LCA bushings.
Jack up the front and shake the tires, grabbing at 12 and 6 o'clock positions, and then 3 and 9. Put it back on the ground and have some one watch the tires while you shift repeatedly from 1st to reverse.
Report back.
If it jerks turning left, the loose part is likey on the right (passengers)side. Outside tire in a turn is subjected to more stress, and will react more readily in that circumstance.
How do your CV boots look, torn? Any knocking noise while turning left?

My CV boots and axles are very much new. They are changed last year. They are not thorn. I have knocking noise when I turn left. I'll check the thing you said and will report back.
Thanks
