Check ball joints.

Is it when turning or straight?

If on full lock, it's likely to be cv joints.

You're going to have to jack it up,

Check for play in wheel and in suspension parts

Passenger REAR wheel. Lol thst would exclude anything from the front. I will let you off as its late. Check the wheels bearings on the rear or the rear shocks? Thats about all that can go wrong.

Im running cheap fk coilovers, and the rear dampers are crap. Lol If i hit a big pothole i get a loud banging noise too. So i would say your rear dampers are knackered. Im going to be changing the rear dampers when funds are better for me.

Sorry, compleltly missed the "rear" part, was just offering help.

New rear shocks? When I bought the 2nd runaround Corsa, person before had fitted shocks wrong and put rubber pushed on wrong side.

Yes what you said makes sense. Put a metal washer on the damper,then the rubber washer so that sits up against the metal part of the car. Then from the top put another metal washer and the nut on and tighten it up. The rubber will stop the loud banging noise.
