Post clonking sound going round left hand bends

my 85 carrera is making a clonking sort of vibration when going round left hand bends from the right hand rear wheel

any ideas???

the rear wheel bearing have just been changed, it was doing it before. i was hoping it was the wheel bearing as it was whinning as well which stopped with the replacement, but its still clonking

it goes back in the garage next friday <a href="http://www.g-force-motorsport.co.uk" target="_blank">www.g-force-motorsport.co.uk</a> but i was hoping to get an idea what it was before hand

Sway bar mounts tight? Sway bar bushings in good shape?

Could be CV Joints. They make a clicking sound when bad.

I had this problem once - it drove me nuts for about a week. The sound was a hard clunk only when I turn left hard. Turns out I left a screw driver under the passenger seat.
