Default knocking noise! help me!!!

ok i have posted about this before,well i have more info so some of you can help me out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> ok...when i go around corners or come to a stop i hear a knock from the rear end, i ruled out the bent rim, shocks and springs look good and everything is tight, drive shaft is snug and seems fine. the noise seems to come from the outter edges of the rear end. i shook it with the wheel from side to side and i heard the noise, it sounds something like the brakes or either the parts in the rear end just moving, my buddys t/a didnt make that noise. im going to the dealer to see what they say, its under warranty...and i just wanted to know if anyone else had the same problem. i figure its either the brakes or a bearing going somewhere, let me know what u all think please. if traction comes on a lot and clamps on the rear brakes, could that cause things to go loose, because my friends doesnt have tcs and mine seems to come on a lot <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />
