Any idea what this noise is? (video included)
I have a 1993 Toyota MR2, and have just recently
changed out the 91 wheel I was using for some 91
NSX wheels. Now the noise shown only occurs
on the new wheels and there are no obvious signs
of any rubbing. I have jacked up the car on both sides
with the suspension loaded and unloaded and couldn't get it
to squeak.
I recently replaced, both rear axles, both rear calipers, both rear ball joints, the transmission, both rear wheel bearings and hubs, and a heater bypass line.
Any ideas?

So let's have the rest of the information...
Is it in the front or the back (I assume back because of what you've replaced, but didn't actually say).
Does it knock only when turning?
Does it knock when turning both directions or just one direction?
Does it knock the same regardless of speed?
What's the difference between the old and new wheels? Width, offset, etc..
Does it get better or worse with increasing turn radius?
Have you checked caliper clearance?
Have you checked coilover clearance?
Have you changed ride height or anything else along with the wheels?
This should be easy to find, because it sounds like a distinct knock instead of just something rubbing.
