There is a big bump on the back of my car when I make a turn.

Get thee to a car hoist and raise yon car high enough to see under it skirts…

Look for bent or broken contorl arms, springs, stabilizer bar links, loose wheel bearings and loose exhaust.

Beware the ides of RUST. Rust never sleeps and can allow important things to fall off.

Have the lateral arms inspected to see if the bushings are worn.

These arms hold the rear knuckle assemblies in position when a lateral force is applied to the rear suspension. Such as when going around corners.

Here I am replacing them in a vehicle that displayed the same problem.
