Knocking Sound When turning

Hey Guys I have this problem when I turn ... I think mostly on right turns, but I would have to double check that. When I am in the turn it sounds like there is a knocking coming from the rear wheels. I had this problem with stock wheels, and now more recently after I put on a set of 17's with 205 wide tires. I drive a 99 EK by the way. ANy help would be great.

Are U sure that it's coming from the rear?
CV joints will knock(or clack) when the boots are torn and have no grease left but, they're in the front. If it is coming from the rear..................I have nooooooo Idea.
Mine are clacking right now. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

CV joints would be my first guess too..
if it is, replace..don't just re-grease and hope for the best..

he said its coming from the rear, so it cant be cv joints, do u have an aftermarket muffler? or stock for that matter, push on it see if it moves freely, it may be bumping against the car, or it could be ur midpipe rattling against something under the car, my friends magnaflo catback rattles against his underbody, it could be a number of things without more info i doubt ne one can really help u

noise travels.....
what sounds like it's coming from the rear isn't always necessarily doing so..

The quickest thing to do is turn your wheels and look at the CV boots. If they're torn/cracked, prolly need new ones.
Sound does come from weird angles and, unless you roll down your window and do turns in a parking lot, one could assume noise from the wrong direction.
A rattling pipe should rattle regardles of turning or not. A turning vehicle shouldn't make an exhaust rattle.
Check tire wear iF it is from the rear. Jack that sucker up and check for something loose.
