Hard knocking felt in the floor and pedals only when turning left. Slowly or fast. Do not hear anything on the freeway or going straight or turns which are smooth. Only felt when turning steering to the left.

My mechanics can't figure out what it possibly can be. I feel it when slowly turning with wheel turned to the left, not experiencing it when turning right.

Recently changed:
Shocks (Tokico HD)
Bars and bars bushings (GT3 and tarret front and rear)
Links (front and rear tarret)
Control Arms (GT3)

The car did sit for about a year after shocks change but before everything else.

Everything looks solid when on the lift, moving it, banging not really producing anything.

One of the mechanics thinks it might be steering rack, but it just feels much more metallic.

Its a full mystery right now, but really affects my please of driving it, as any sharp turns to the left feel like my wheel or something will come off. I hear it on the left and hear it even more when slowly backing up with the wheel turned to the left.

Help is greatly appreciated!
