Pop the hood and rev it up see if you can hear the problem , could be CV joints . what about accelerating in a corner ?

Knock and pinging noises? Are you using the correct octane fuel?

Thanks. I will pop the hood and see if I can hear it. Also, the manual recommends 89 octane fuel so I will have to check that when I fuel up.
