Knocking from motor when using the right blinker?

This is a weird issue, i know there isnt usually tech in this forum but i dont know where else this question fits.

Just recently i started noticing a loud knocking when using the right blinker from the engine bay. Only the right blinker not the left. I popped the hood and its not the actual blinker its coming from i think the front of the motor by the drive belt and what not. Anyone know what this could be? Its kinda annoying its loud enough to hear over the radio inside the car.

If it makes any difference, i just put a new parking light bulb on that same side. I dont see how thatd do anything though.

blinker fluid.

But seriously.... that new parking light bulb could be causing new strain on the wiring///relay to the blinker if it is not OEM specs. This is a very odd issue but I would just check to see if all wires to blinker assembly//relay seem ok and not corroded//bent//frayed.

Video would be helpful

My blinker fluid is topped off, my mivec fluid is a tad low but that shouldnt effect the lights

thanks to the one person with a serious response, youd think a forum full of car enthusiasts could help a guy out a little more :-/

I would bet that its a steering/suspension problem and its just when you are making the turn that you associate it with the turn signal.
