Or that old gem...... dodgy tyre wear on the rear. Check the inside edge of the tyres... you may find that it has one tread block high, then the next low, then high, etc. It gives a knocking sound like a CV joint failed.

I was sceptical about this, but it happened on our previous Freebie and fresh tyres solved the problem. You could try swapping wheels front to rear. This will tell you if this is the problem.
