Default loud popping/knocking from rear

Ok I just got done drivin my car, and my car was making a reallly loud popping/knocking noise from the rear. It only really happens when I make a right turn. Or I start to go from a stop. I think its my suspension because when I got the restruant I pushed down the left rear side and it made no noise, but when I pushed down the right rear it would make a lil pop. Could it be my shocks, springs.

hrmms, what have you been doing before this? could be a couple of different things, warn bushings in either the uca/lca... uhmm if the shocks were blown the rear end will just bounce up and down after you release the rear from pushing it down.

I would get the bushings replaced soon. I'd recommend poly bushings for the lca's and rubber bushings for the uca. Or if you have money, rubber bushings for the uca, and a heavy duty lca.
