Default Knocking noise. Any ideas?

Hi everyone

I have a knocking noise comming from the rear near side. Its not the jack/tools as I removed them and its still there!!! The noise is only there on rough roads at lower speeds (could not hear anything on the motorway).

I have a standard 05 wrx (it does have an sti back box and spoiler?!)

Any ideas guys???????
Cheers

Have you taken it abroad lately? If yes then check for immigrants in the rear chassis legs

Is it a wagon or a saloon ? if it's a wagon there is an issue with the head lining in the rear making a knocking noise .Subaru are aware of this and should be able to fix it (with expanding foam !!!) I know this from experiance PM me if you need more details

What am I looking for on the shocks? and if I need a new one (or do I need to get a pair) how much am I looking at (inc. fitting)?

Thanks again

It could be a door to another dimension and someone wants to get through? I saw something similar on a BBC3 documentary called Torchwood recently

If it's an 05 then this should be covered under warranty
