Default Rear knock?

Ive noticed recently ive got a strange loud "Knock" sound comming from the passenger rear wheelarch when i Go around a corner and or hit a bump.
any thoughts on what it could be?

Ive fitted brand new lower trailing arms and checked that them aswell as the upper arms are both tight, and also checked the Calipers to find they are tight.

The rear is lowered with lows btw

Did you torque up the trailing arms bolts when the car was on the ground?
