rear wheel knocking sound.

Hi, everytime I make a slight left turn (not a 90 degree turn), the right side rear will have this knocking sound (sound like kokokoko)
does anyone know what that sound is? it sound like something is rubbing.. but I only have 17X8 wheel on.. shouldn't have any rubbing. I check everything in the trunk... nothing.. could it be wheel bearing? I just install cattman's RSB today, and it got worse.. so.. anyone?

thanks in advance

You sure it's not your muffler hitting the bumper? I had the same problem with the same description you gave.. It was a loose hanger on the muffler...

and just in case, make sure the wheel lug nuts are tight.

the lug nuts are tight... I took it off then retighten it again already.

I am suspecting that my trailer hatch is hitting something.. taking it to my shop today, and we will see.. it's getting really annoying..
