Ever since i have had my car i have a knocking coming from the back of my car and only occurs when ging over bumps or over hills.

Not a slight knocking either. More of a long knock or very continuous, most noise is coming from passenger side and at first thought it was the exhaust.

I have replaced the anti-roll bar bushes as they are prone but no difference.

MY94 WRX RA has adjustable (wing??) shocks

Any ideas please

Recent knocking from rear of PTMW! turned out to be the shock-absorber mounting bush which had failed/was failing.

Open the boot & together with a large friend, bounce the rear of the car up & down. If you can hear the knocking, then try putting your finger on top of the rubber gaiter (in fact the bush but looks like a gaiter from where you can see it) & see if you can feel excess movement.

I have Leda but it is the same bush that came with the standard set-up.

Doh! Bugger!

Into dealer today went PTMW! to have said bush/mount replaced. It was & under warranty too ( http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif ). Bummer is that the knocking is still there http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif

Will be ringing Leda tomorrow. Previously, they had had the whole thing disassembled & tested & rebuilt & tested & pronounced A1.

Ideas anyone? Wheel on ground & bounced by 2 heavy people & obvious knocking & movement comes from strut. Anything else it could be?
