Subject:Knocking sound in curve at rear inside wheel?

Hi there,
    I have an '85 Vanagon 1.9L 4 speed, and when driving hard corners or
curves, a knocking sound comes from the inside rear wheel (only on the
driver's side).  I suppose it might be one of the CV joints.  It is
extremely hard to figure out exactly where the noise is coming from, since
it only happens when driving 15-25mph hard turns.  Has anyone had this
problem?  The knocking dissapears when straightening out.   Please let me
know what you think.  Thanks

Marko, Hamilton, Ma
