diff outrigger bushes or the metal bracket that bolts too the chassis that holds these bushes could be bent up on the lip.

that is what was causing my knock, but i learnt the expensive way... replaced shockers, droplinks and arb only too find that i must of jacked the car up under this bracket and bent the lip up! doh!

is the noise when you change gear sometimes, when you pull away and whenever you go over bumps?

Did your knocking get worse or was it fairly constant from the outset?

Is your spare wheel well properly fitted. The jack handle can clunk against the boot floor if not properly fitted.
