knocking noise from rear wheel around turns

[sjr8ut]

I have an '88 taurus wagon with 156k. When I turn left, I hear a thumping sound coming from the rear of the car. Does anyone know what this could be. Thank you in advance. Any suggestions would be apprectiated.

Rear strut mounts or the stabilizer bar link kits are broken.

My 99 Taurus sedan, also makes a "thud" noise when I make a sharp left turn. It is coming from somewhere behind the driver.
Almost sounds like a bad CV joint, but this is obviously Front Wheel Drive.
Any suggestions as to what I should check?

Have you had any success figuring out what the problem was? I have the same issue with my 1996 Taurus and need to work on it this weekend. Should I not be driivng on it? Anything thoughts would be helpful...thanks.
