Knocking sound from the rear
Trying to find out what is that is causing my rear to make a metallic knocking sound when driving into my driveway, OR when turning slowly but aggressively into a corner.
Arizona houses have a crummy bump style driveway and half the time I hear a knock after my front wheels are already over the bump(and 45 degrees in) and the rear starting to come up in the driveway.
So Im trying to find out what the actual problem is, so that I can correct it.

Simple test..
Turn on the car put you windows down and open the driver side door. Place foot on brake and keep it there. Then place the car in reverse did you hear a click? Then put it in drive was it the same click?? Disregard the transmission engagement ... you have to listen to the rear axles.
If it clicks that's the axle tab.
If no click then its potentially worn bushings especially if you live in the states where the county spreads salt on the tarmac.

I wouldn't say it the axle if he's hearing when going up an incline. That sounds a lot more like a bushing that has either popped out or worn out.
If you it is the Axle, the dealership should lube it up for you free of charge. If it isn't, then take it to you mechanic and have him poke around at the rear end bushings.

Also arizona, has no salt on the roads, so thats not gonna cause a problem.
