Default Advice on checking the rear

Hey guys,

Starting to hear a knocking noise coming from the rear on my Hawk sti so will be investigating this weekend. I know to 'check' the shocks, bushes and the prop shaft, but what / how do I carry out the right checks? What do I need to tighten etc.

Cheers folks.

Alternatively, if there's any experts in the Maidstone area who want to earn a few quid to diagnose it, the offer is there. Brews and beverages of your choice will be supplied lol :-)

For sure mate. From what I've read so far, it's looking the most likely. Cause. Exactly how do I check them though?

Ok, I've given the boot a bounce and there is a slight knocking? I'm not sure if this is standard or not? Should there be no noise whatsoever?
