Get a weird grinding/knocking noise from the rear when i turn reasonably sharply and it was much worse yesterday when i had the boot loaded.
Does that sound like the rear trailing arms. The rear bushes are all brand new by the way

suspension doesn't make grinding noises when its failed they knock and cause strange handling! could be a CV joint dying

Oi, I am short but it is not me !!!
If its a bearing you will find a bit of play in the wheel when you jack the car up. Could be a combination of exhaust knock and as Si said cv. Get it checked out properly.

i would of thought jacking the back up and spining the wheels would tell alot, if its a grinding noise
