inboard CV joints "Knocking"
I have a 05 Ford escape with 107K.
When I make a right turn and applying the brakes I feel a clunking in the brake pedal. checked all front brakes and all is ok. So I looked at the drive shaft on the drivers side. I can move or wobble the drive shaft around on the in board CV going in the transmission. Is that normal? there are no "Clicking" sounds any where while turning which would tell me that is what it is.
Also while driving slow not appying brakes there is a lot of clunking and knocking sounds while going over a few little bumps here and there.
Is it the inboard CV joint? Please advise.

The inboard joints don't go bad often.I would go with the sway bar end links. I replaced them on 2 Escapes to have the new ones fail after a few months thank goodness for warranty on them. So far been quit for 2 yrs.
