Ive noticed recently ive got a strange loud "Knock" sound comming from the passenger rear wheelarch when i Go around a corner and or hit a bump.
any thoughts on what it could be? Ive fitted brand new lower trailing arms and checked that them aswell as the upper arms are both tight, and also checked the Calipers to find they are tight. The rear is lowered with lows btw

when we put the lows in the rear of my car, i had to jump under the car and tighten the lower shock bolts as it was knocking (happened after about a week of driving around)
been fine since.

Did you torque up the trailing arms bolts when the car was on the ground?
