So I decided to put my nova back on the road yesterday and it has developed a horrible knocking noise on every rotation which sounds like it's coming from front n/s but hard to say for certain. Any ideas what this could be? was thinking inner cv joint or bearing but seems weird that it came on suddenly out of nowhere. Literally the only thing the car has done is sit in a garage over winter. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

It's a constant like rubbing/knocking sound. Its present from the very start to finish of vid. If you listen careful you can hear it, probably most obvious on the roundabout at the end just before camera flys off the dash lol. Probably doesn't help that the car is stripped.

Disc shield?
Cv joint?
Ball joint? Rackend?
Wheel bearing?

I was thinking cv joint but it's the fact it was perfectly fine when i put the car away before winter. Wasn't even any dodgy bangs or anything just started knocking as I pulled away. Usually they come on slowly or fail catastrophically lol. Guess I'll have to just take it apart and have a look. Joy!!!
