When I make a right turn my passenger right rear end makes a "bonk" noise, any guesses?

You need to have the differential cover removed. It sounds like excessive end play. I believe there are shims that can be purchased to repair it, but the differential needs taken apart to do it.

Luckily I had a blonde moment! There was a large rock under the seat and every time I turned a curve it was knocking on the seat frame. Lucky me!!!
