Yup, CV-Joints and their drive-shaft bolts - classic knocking from the back. But do check your wheel nuts too of course - wiki'll tell you how to check them

naa not cv joint, had that before! mind you it only did it when i went around a corner, this is in a straight line

Drive shaft bolts then... though CV's can still make that clacking sound whether cornering or not, even in reverse.

But there's only one way of finding out... take your hex key socket and go check every one, 28~30 ft-lbs, they might be 12-point star bolts if CVs been done before.
