When going round corners i noticed a knocking, so checked side-to-side movement on rear axle, there was the knocking. I think it's A frame, in which case, is it a bushing somewhere that i don't know of? What could it be? Just before a go out buying the wrong thing. Thanks

Ive got the same. Could be a ball joint at the top of the a frame. Follow the brake lines to find it

Stick it in gear, lay under it ... chock the wheels and get someone to rock it forward and back and you will replicate if its a frame clonk..... Be careful for the love of god... ignition off etc... rock not push start

Yea, i found it. Having replaced the nuts and bolts on the A frame ball joint, they came loose. Easy fix, thanks for your help guys. All fixed now.
