Question Knock noise when reversing

I tried the search but none had solutions

It happens when I reverse, its a knock, sounds like ive hit a small dog comes from the rear left!

Somthing must need replacing, what is it, how much, is it DIY-able and where from?

Also, my steering wheel vibrates when going over 55 and it seems to want to go to the left. I've had the wheels aligned it was fine, but has happened so soon! Any ideas?

Check for Fur in the rear left wheel arch.

Steering wheel vibration is most likely a wheel balance issue.... or a dead dog stuck in the spokes.

Checked your tyre pressures lately?? Common cause of drifting off one way.


If something is worn in the rear then the wheel alignment will be "all to ****" as my grandad used to say..
You'll need to suss the rear clunk before getting the alignment sorted.
Probably traling arm bushes on an old one like that. No doubt seized solid too.... Have fun.
