Question klunking type noise on my rear pasenger wheel

I recently heard a knlnking type noise on my rear passenger wheel.
Any advise on what it could be? I was thinking the shock is going bad.

It's more than likely the top shock mount. Very common failure.

I had a hum like thump, i thought it was the tires but it was a wheel bearing,,
not easy to replace it was a press on,, we beat it off with a brass rod.
$100.00 and had to drop the drive shaft. just an idea.

Does it happen when you are driving over bumps?
When you press your brake?
Bolt in tire?
All the time? Sometimes?
Could be several things, all of which need attention I would think?
More details please.
