my car is making clicking/knocking noises from the rear when i make any left turns, and it gets worse as the speed increases .. it almost sounds like a woodpecker is pecking the **** out of my car when im on the highway making any sort of left turn ..
i went to a shop and they told me it might be because my rear stabilizer bar is in contact with the rear axle (or whatever it is, i dunno cuz im a noob)

would this cause the knocking/clicking sounds ?
If so, why does it only occur during left turns ?
what else could this be from?

i recently replaced my front left axle and my brake pads .. (last week)
i dont think its any front axle problem because the sound is coming from the rear ..

PLEASE HELP !!!!

could it be a problem w/ the rear stabilizer bushings ?
bumppp

Check your CV boots.(Hint: They are in the front directly behind the wheels) I know you said the sound is coming from the rear, but that really sounds like a CV joint that's missing bearings

are CV boots the same thing as the control arms ?
i have skunk2 control arms w/ bad bushings, could that be the problem?

no they are not the same thing as control arms.. your cv boots are on the axles.. they are the black accordian looking things... if they are split open they are bad and they will click.. either get the bearings repacked of by new axles if u determine this is what the problem is
