HELP!!!! Knocking and Banging from right rear side

Ok I just spent around 500.00$ in exhaust work, and now I dont know if its the exhaust, or the right rear wheel bearings, brake shoes, axel or what!?!?! It makes like a knocking/banging sound when I turn left only, and go over bumps, but not all bumps... All and any help would be great THANK YOU....

take a look at the upper shock mount, see if it's broken out of the rest of the sheet metal like always happens to these cars

Check the rubber bushings at the ends of the lower control arms, panhard rod, and struts. Also check to make sure the bumpstops are still there on both sides. They're right above the axle, next to the wheel. On my POS formula, the bumpstop on the passenger side had rotted off, and every time I hit a big bump, or made a hard left, I got a really loud thump sound. But then again, my formula was lowered a lot. A LOT.
