worn bushings?

is there any way to know if i have a worn out bushing? theres a decently knocking sound coming from the driver side rear wheel that goes away under braking but comes back once i let off. ive looked under there and it doesnt seem like anythings lose or has fallen off. please this is driving me crazy!

The bushings in your car, if they're OE, are 20+ years old. They're worn out. Whether bushings are the problem or not is another story. Try another visual and 'pull and yank' around the suspect area. Include the trans mount in your inspection.
