Unexplained knocking on a Fiesta

Every time I turn to the left around a bend I get this loud knocking noise from the rear passenger side. I have replaced a spring, rear axle bushes, rear brake drums and the noise is still there. It's driving me nuts! What can it be?

Might be the exhaust silencer banging against part of the suspension.
