Hi guys. hit a speedhump a bit to quick last night. Now ive got a strange knocking noise coming from the rear passenger side back suspension rod.

any ideas? iv had a look and i cant see anything but it makes a horrible noise when i turn right. Ive had suspension go on my golf but its nothing like this.

Help!

knackered droplink bushing made a clicking on mine - sounded like a fubar driveshaft at full lock except didn't alter much with road speed. Upgrade to Whiteline solids now

What sort of horrible noise, and at what speed?

This sounds spot on. What sort of cost where you looking at tath? Parts?

'Normal driving' doesnt sound too bad. When I turn right at slow speeds its sounds like someone locked in the boot trying to kick out the back parcel shelf! No joke!

I'm wondering if this is dangerous? I wont be able to sort it til the weekend.
cheers lads

About £40 for the steel ones I think, alloy are more but you can't see them unless you roll it and looking bling will be the last thing on your mind.

Easy to fit, DIY job.

As for danger - if it is the links, then the handling might be a little different, probably understeer more...

However, until you know it is or isn't definitely them, I'd be a bit wary.

It could even be a kinked alloy that is touching the suspension strut on every revolution. This happened to me once and the noise was horrendous when turning one way, but not the other.

It could also be a cracked spring??
