Hi. 53 reg blob wagon..replaced shocks all round and arb bushes ,drop links etc. But still have a clunking from somewhere at the rear. And when driving slow like of the drive, when the car leans or changes angle as my drive is on a slant it creaks on one side at the rear left only. Any ideas what this could be.,? Thx 🤔

Quite often it's the top mount on the strut which wears and causes a knocking noise

Trailing arm/bushes?
Did you replace the top mounts?

Sootbox

Yes top mounts are all new as are rear struts.

I had an odd creak on my old WRX wagon that was due to trailing arm bushes.
To work it out I had to grease random components until I found the one that caused it.

standard shocks and top mounts? wagon correct fitment?

Sootbox

Pedders , correct fitment yes, trailing arm bushes have not been replaced so may be now everything else has been replaced it’s showing that up? How easy a job are they to do?

Tidgy

I didn't think they did a wagon figment? Although that was a while ago. But I had the exact issue one wide track fitment. Had 2 sets if top mounts and a whole new set under warranty before sacking them off for teins.

Not 100% saying its that but that sounds exactly like my issues

Sootbox

Yes. Pedders new updated wagon rear shocks... have sent one back already and replaced it. May be another duff pair?

Tidgy

I gave up after 3 sets
