Very scary knocking sound from back of the car

Just had the worst day ever, first some **************************** stabbed my plastic window with a knife (knife left inside of car) when parked outside work.


Then on my way home after a while i heard a knocking sound from the back of the car, sounded like it came from the right back wheel and the rythm followed the rotation of the wheel.

Driving slow - KNOCK.....KNOCK......KNOCK
Driving fast - KNOCKKNOCKKNOCKKNOCK

Since it sounded from the rotation of the wheel and not the engine RPM I felt like i could drive the last way home.

Had it in the garage a couple of hours and then was gonna show my dad the sound and it was silent. Drove around for a while to se if it sounded while being hot and sure soon enought it started.

Now to the scary part, found out that the the sound only exists if i have a gear in, if the car is moving in neutral there is no sound...

As soon i found out I turned it of and pushed it up the driveway.

Don't know if the information i gave here is good enougt, but what can it be that sounds only when in gear and when the car is hot? clutch, gearbox, IMS? flywheel?

Any idéa of how broke i will get fixing this?

Manual 986 from 1998
