Clunking/knocking left rear

[cRyan18]

Hey guys, so lately i've been getting a clunking/knocking in my left rear. It doesn't happen under acceleration, only at very low speed and usually while turning into a parking spot or going of a speed bump or something.

I'm thinking shock mount or cv joint. Any ideas?

Anything in the rear suspension is a suspect at this point. Get the car up in the air and inspect everything.

If its an audible knock while turning, I would suspect a rear wheel bearing. If you find that to be the problem, replace both sides. The other wont be far behind

I agree it is your wheel bearing and I would suggest replacing that cv as well. To do it you will need some make shift tools to get the bearing out and to push ir back in. I found that a harmonic balancer puller with a nut to fit from ace hardware and 2 steel plates from the plumbing section with 4 holes on the outseds and one center hole to put the rod through that fits perfectly on the bearing then cranking it in worked for me or you could get a bunch of perfect size washers bit you have to make sure it goes perfectly straight or you're screwed lol
