this is something i found in the forum i will try it today if that does not help
i have no choice but to install eibach pro street coilovers and end the knocking sound i hope once and for all

I've found that the latest band-aid fix helps. It can also help you identify whether it's the strut or the tophat:

1) jack up the rear of the car
2) Pull up the accordian strut boot
3) spray the chrome portion of the exposed strut with either a synth spray grease or WD-40
4) lower car
5) rejoice at the lack of clunks

This fix was posted by another member so I don't want to take credit. If the clunking goes away, it's the strut. If it does not, it might be the tophat. I'm willing to bet that 90% of the clunks are struts. The reality is that if you just jacked up the car in the course of doing the tophat, most times the strut will settle and stop clunking for a while so it seems as if it might be the hat.

So far after applying this fix, mine hasn't made any noise in over a week (crosses fingers; knocks on wood). Before I did it, it was so loud, I couldn't even turn up the stereo loud enough to avoid it. I still have a set of Spec C takeoffs on order for when the fix no longer works.

still no knocking from rear it seems that this fix works
