Angry Discovery 2 knocking noise, Rear

I have a knocking noise on the rear of my disco 2, you can be traveling along at 5mph and wiggle the steering wheel slightly and something knocks, i was informed it was the watts linkage, so i change that but still seem to makes the noise. its a 53 plate. many thanks.

Did you inspect the rear drive shaft/output from T-case?

Check your sway bar links and mount bushings

Are you 100% sure it's coming from the back? There's just so much more going in in the front (ball joints, steering mechanism, etc.)
