Ok guys, I have this situation with my 172, when cornering right and giving it full beans (specially in 2ng gear) I get a knocking noise very similar to that when a mount is gone.
I have read here it may be shaft related and have checked it doesn't do any type of noises when moving at full lock, and no, it doesn't. Also checked and if I do fasty start or make a U turn quickly to either side it doesn't do any noise unless I am agressive, it is just when the engines starts to give its power, lets say cornering at full throtle to the right, engine gets to 5000 and the knocking starts, it goes if I back off the gas pedal. The mounts are not new by any means but they don't seem to play much TBH. Also noticed that if I go full throtle in 1st and even second in a straight line it knocks slightly also, but a lot less than when cornering. Finally, I can go as fast as I can thru a bend without noises at all if I do it smoothly, it seems to start when giving it full gas only.
Any one has an idea what it could be?
Top mounts are relatively new and it doesn't knock on bumby roads
