Default Rear wheel knocking noise

I have an 02 Accord SE with 120K miles. Around 10K miles ago I noticed it made a knocking noise coming from the area of the rear right wheel only when I turned left. I thought maybe the lug nuts were loose causing the wheel to knock so I checked and they were all super tight. Not sure what else would cause this. Its more of a thunk,thunk,thunk....

Welcome newbie!
It could still be the wheel bearing. Normally more of a howling sound, but bearings can go bad in different ways.

This is a General Tech question, so I'll move it.

Mine does it too. I am not worried about mine. I think on mine it might be a slight application of the p-brake from cable flex allowing the shoes to hit some rust spot on the drums. If I get the time to actually look at mine and find out the cause I will post the results

Sure its not comming from the front?

could be an cv axle problem.

Im currently in the process of replacing my axle for the exact sound you described. only that its coming from the front driver side.
