Description of the problem	My 1 year old hyundai santa fe started making faint knocking sound coming from the front end of the vehicle about 6 months ago, which has now become more noticeable and persistent when cornering at slow speeds (parking lots and winding roads), or going over a dip in the road at higher speeds. It sounds like a single clunk with slight feedback in the steering wheel, when turning the steering wheel, and i have recently discovered that right front axle can be moved side to side by hand with wheels on the ground which also produces knocking sound. Car taken to two different dealership on three separate occasions, but each time unable to locate the source of the problem even after duplicating the knocking for technicians. Vehicle looked over each time with front suspension and steering found to be in good condition with no apparent damage, and tightening both front axle bolts, but the knocking still persists. Dealership advisors and mechanics are always very helpful, and assured me that vehicle is safe to drive and axle side to side movement is normal, but since knocking is becoming very apparent even when cornering on level roads, i am very concerned about vehicle safety. I have driven number of different vehicles and have never experienced issue like this, which makes me feel uneasy when driving the vehicle in fear that something may go terribly wrong, and at this point i am simply not sure which action to take.
