What would cause a knocking sound when making left or right turns in rear wheel drive car that started doing this after the brakes and rotors were replaced?

- Loose lug nuts: Ensure lug nuts are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended specifications.

- Worn or damaged wheel bearings: Listen for a humming noise while driving. Excessive play in wheel bearings can lead to knocking sounds during turns.

- Damaged CV axle or joints: CV axles transmit power between differential and wheels. Check for grease leaks and torn CV boots.

- Driveline U-joints: Inspect universal joints for wear or damage. Worn U-joints can cause knocking sounds during turns.

- Differential issues: Differential may be low on fluid or have worn gears. Check the differential fluid level and listen for whining or grinding noises.

- Suspension problems: Worn or damaged suspension components can cause knocking sounds when turning. Inspect control arms, bushings, and ball joints.
