Default Installed and new break pads

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.
