My car has developed a knocking noise from near side rear im just wondering what it could be.
It started a couple of weeks ago and i thought is was the spare wheel cover so i removed it and it was still doing it then thought the exhaust and its not that either.
Its coming from the nsr wheel area i have drove off a curb this afternoon a few times and it knocks everytime my girlfriend did the same while i listened out side the car but there is no noise any sugestions?

thanks in advance

 

can be a few things but usually the anti roll bar drop link bush will have gone or a shocker top mount and lastly it could be a lateral link arm bush but I would check the droplinks first.


Good luck!

what about the jack in the rear wing???? that is sometime the knock. but i have the same and i know mine is the top mount!

im going to do it getto style and weld it up

 

Have you checked the retaining pin in the brake calipers hasn't fallen out?

I remember on my my99 Scoob the front drivers one had fallen out and thus the calieprs were mocing about and knocking when braking or accelerating.

 

Check the Bumper mountings. My old car was knocking for ages, tried evrything to find what it was and it turned out some of the nuts were loose. I did these up and added extra ones where ever I could get them and problem solved

 

Bumper mounts been checked, not the jack either i removed it and it continued to knock.

 

I have it as well, on a newage though. Removed the lot, jack, toolkit, jackhandle, tightened the spare right down. Looks like its the strut. There is a fix on scoobypedia but its for newage, Id imagine its the same problem. http://www.scoobypedia.co.uk/index.php/Knowledge/KnockingNewageRearStruts

 

link not working mate, thanks anyway

i had an annoying knock as well - removed my jack from inner wing and the noise is much better still got one though - now been told it may be my boot if I shake my spoiler my bonnet does bang so i need to re-adjust that

 

Thanks i will have a go tomorrow

 

albanians in the boot ???

 

I put this thread up at the beginning of the month and the knocking has got really loud and can hear it over small bumps now anymore suggestions what it could be? it has had new rear shocks and drop links up to now, also it seems like its all over the road when driving on uneven roads, could it be the rear arms? if so where can i get them and how much?

thanks in advance

 

had this exact thing,replaced shock etc,only to find in the end it was the rear anti-roll bar bushes.most likely to be that imo.

 

Ive got the same problem,

Ive replaced the both rear shocks, top mounts, exhaust hangers, drop links, anti roll bar bushes and subframe locking bolts

Now Ive ordered a set of rear cross member uprated bushes, to see if that sorts it , if not then its new rear uprated diff mounts.

 

So you've replaced loads of stuff trying to cure the fault?

Why not just take it to someone who can diagnose the real problem?

 

Where? as when you go anywhere like a specialist they want to change everything all at your cost for things that dont need to be done

 

The way Im seeing it is, Im replacing parts with better ones.
While Im trying to track down the the fault, plus its a learning curve for me in how things go together.


Slowly but surely, I will have a load of whilteline goodies on the backend.
The I will start over again on the front. I only do this when I have the spare cash or saved up for a while.

 

i have the same. done about as much as i can with the suspension.

if i jack the car up and then let it back down the sound seems to go for a while. then comes back. also some ties when i com to stop, it feels like something klunks back intop place???

any ideas?

 

...

 

wow. that is the worst post i have ever seen. there was completely no need. lol

 

Sorry I just wanted to get email notification of any replies as I am having similar issues, and that was the quickest way for me to do so!

 

at the top of the thread page is a drop down box thats got a heading thread tools. if you click this and then at bottom it saying suscribe to this thread!

but i like your thinking

 

i get this knocking noise but only when i reverse the car and brake,its really frustrating and starting to P**S me off..

Phil.

 

i had the same thing and it was a simple thing , my tyre had a bubble on its inside

cheers I was aware that somewhere there would be a link for that, but what can I say - I'm lazy and the quick reply box was already there!

 

mate im the same! lol

 

Ive cured my knocking this morning, it was the 3 bolts that attach to the cross member they were loose.




While I was at it, I fitted the uprated cross member bushes. The rear end is solid now, but Ive got vibration noise now with the uprated bushes and subframe bolts fitted. It is a small price to pay for better handling.


Forgot to say, I got the bushes from:
