Default Knock from Rear left

Theres a knock or a clunk coming from somewhere when swing the car right or go over a speed bump in the rear. Can it be a bad strut mount or something? and can it be replaced?

thanks

Sounds like a bad strut mount. Have you tried just seeing if one of the two bolts holding the mount to the car is lose?

Its really not that bad of a job to replace.

Could also be a broke rear sway bar end link, or bushing. Or a broke or lose muffler mount.
