Default focus st knockin on rear

hi all, i have a focus st and wen i drive slow around corners i get a knockin from the rear and sometimes wen drivin slow in straight line but happens more round corners. seems like its just on the left side. the knockin stops wen i brake slightly or wen i pull the hand brake on just 1 notch. the pads have still got loads on them. cud there be somethin rong with them or is it somethin else? cud it be the wheel bearin? seems noisy while hard turnin wen slow. any 1 know anythin???? cheers.

I know how to spell

It could be numerous things. The last rear knocking i had was down to faulty shock absorbers.
Take it into a garage and get it up on ramps to check for obvious problems.

I would have thought anything to do with the brakes ie pads would make more of a rattle than a knock.

It seems to me that people who text speak when not using a phone don't get much respect (quite understandably). Want respect? Speak English boy - not Chavlish.

By the way, try FFOC :: Ford Focus Owners Club. A lot of good knowledge about all things Focus on there and they have a dedicated ST forum.

No need to throw your toys out the pram, but you must realise that txt spk gives the forum a bad image, its bad enough as it is driving a Subaru.
