I own a 2005 Honda Accord EX V6 coupe with the 6 speed manual tranny. It currently has 108K miles on it. It has run smoothly the entire time and has never had a problem. Items have been serviced and or replaced when scheduled, and that is it.
Recently, within the last few days, I have noticed that when I turn my car, usually only on sharp, low speed turns, there is a knocking sound coming from the back. It does not happen all the time, and may happen more when it is cold out, I'm not sure yet. Besides that I cannot explain it anymore, besides that it does not happen when I go over bumps or ruts in the road, only when turning (so far). A friend was riding in the car and heard it and said it sounded like a strut mount, or something else to do with the strut or the rear suspension, is that the most likely cause? I am bringing it to my mechanic on Monday, but was just curious in the meantime.
Thank you all who answer

Possibly a wheel bearing. Are you sure its not in the front? Worn out CV joints on the front axles will sound just like that Good luck...

I have been a shade tree mechanic for over 40 years. My guess would be something in the suspension. But something to think about, sound can be telegraphed through the car. That is to say it may not be originating from where you are hearing it. If I was troubleshooting I think I would support the chassis and let the wheels hang free. Start the car and make your turn with the wheels off the ground. That will all but eliminate rotating parts. Then shut it down and do what ever is necessary to load the suspension at each wheel while I watched all the mounts and coupling very closely.
I would consider this serious and wouldn't want to operate it until the mechanic had a "For Sure" diagnosis.
If you are lucky enough to get an answer from DODGE MAN or THE DODGE MAN (not 100% sure of his screen name), really pay attention, he is the real deal, a shop mechanic with certifications and knows a lot more about cars than the tests he took to get those certifications.
Good luck.

It seems such as you comprehend the respond so flow with V6. You stable gasoline mileage yet yet you're asking this question. The V6 will even with the reality that get stable gasoline mileage as quickly as you rigidity on long hauls. The 4 and 6 gets a pair of comparable mileage indoors the line so there should not be a great difference precise right here.

check your rear brake pads and rotors. they get rustted up and make that noise. also make sure the backing plate is not hitting it. if the pads and rotors look good, then take the rotor off and look for signs of the backing plate rubbing. you will see shiney metal. if you see that clean the back of the rotor off.
