How do you know when your drive shafts going, or CV joints?

Also when I fitted my new wheels today, went for a drive and started to get a knocking kind of noise as i went round a corner, i could hear it best inside the car and feel it through the wheel, it was enough to make me pull over?

Anyway i went to check the tire pressure and the fronts were 44, then the rest ranged from 35-45, so sorted all of them out and the noise seems to have gone, could anyone let me know what it feels or sounds like when a drive shaft or CV joint is going?

Or could it have been something in the tire?

Cheers

Danny

I got a vibration in the stearing at about 80ish that came and went.

Check for any vertical play in the cv joints, there shouldn't be any, or only a very small amount
