Knock from rear passenger wheel

Hello I have a 2013 vw jetta with 160 000 km
Which is making a knocking sound from rear wheel when driving, the sound doesnt always happen when going over bumps and sounds worse when in a turn aswell when the car is pushed off balance like when the front left tire is higher then the back. I do have a short video of the noise

Re: Knock from rear passenger wheel

There is only one way that these things are diagnosed, by putting the car on the lift and inspecting all the suspension.

Re: Knock from rear passenger wheel

Thank you for the quick response, so what would you tell a novice diy mechanic what to look for ? :)

A more knowledgeable mechanic............

I don't mean to be insulting but someone really needs to know what to look for in these suspension parts. Just take it to a local shop and get it inspected. Most places don't even charge for that.
