Default 04 light knock when making right turns at less than 5 mph

Just did a very low speed right turn and i think we heard like a knocking noise coming from the passenger rear side of the car. Drivers side is fine and if the speed i higher i can't hear any knocks from either side.


The car was just serviced by Cams Performance and they gave it the all clear. Does anyone know?

Should this happen at low speeds?

Before I had mine changed (55 plate) it felt at low speed like you were riding on a 50 pence piece. I'm pretty sure it's a recognised fault and I'll bet lots of others on here will have had the experience.

Whats the impact of leaving it? And how much do you think it would cost?

Do you not think its the grease in the shocks as per some other post

When my rear shocks went thehknicking was more noticeable at low speeds.

Did the gease mod. Lasted another 12 months before statrting again. In the end I swapped them for some kyb shocks.
