Default Knock from steering when turning...

Whenever I turn into my driveway I get a single loud knock coming from what appears to be around the right tire. I'm no mechanic, any ideas?

From the right rear? Is this a 4 wheel steering version?? [8D]


Could be a loose control arm or shock tower. Take out the trunk carpet with the car on the ground and see if the shocks are properly torqued down (35 ft/lbs.)

Jack the car up and check everything in the rear (control arms, bottom shock mounts, rear sway bar etc.)

I used to get it when going up a curbcut. It was my upper control arm hitting the aftermarket catback
