Knocking sound rear-left wheel area

[Earthslug]

Hey guys,

I just bought this EP3, and now I notice a knocking sound which wasn't there when I test-drove the car when buying it.

The car came with a 1y warrany so that's not the problem, the problem however is, that garage is far away and I don't like the idea of the car being in for repair for several days.
So if I get to know the problem, that could save me a 300mile drive if I could fix this myself.


The problem itself occurs when turning right and at the same time hitting a slight bump or hole. Gets worse on multiple bumps like trainrails or cobblestone road.
However, it is not speed related, seems to happen more at low speeds than at high speed. And also, it doesn't happen when driving straight and hitting even big holes/bumps.

I recorded this audio clip, turning full right on cobblestones at first gear in idle (+-5km/h).

Note this is a EUDM EP3 so it's left hand ride and so the knocking happens at drivers side rear wheel.

My guesses:
*A loose panel somewhere (I hope)
*Anti roll bar - related (I certainly hope not)

I don't think it's damper/spring related as it only occurs when turning right and not straight road.

Thanks in advance...

I had a similar problem myself, after a lot of searching i discovered the anti roll bar was slightly lose, you need a weird shape screwdriver to tighten it, not sure of the name. hopefully this helps you..

Maybe wheel bearing?
