Sounds like the traction control kicking in. Did the TC indicator flash up on the dashboard (Little exclamation mark in a circular arrow, orange light, in the speedo)?

Its your dog bone mount. It's probably okay, the knocking only really happens when you're caught off-guard and spin the wheels. You can buy an uprated one though.
