And everything seemed find breaking good. But iv noticed this loud knocking sound coming from one of my rear wheels. It gets super loud when I make a turn or follow a curve. Does anyone know the cause of this?

Take it to a wheel/tire shop and youll have to get them to 'drill' out the broken stem, then they should replace it, couldnt cost more than a buck or two. Happened to me once.
