Default Knocking from the rear

My car has started to knock over bumpy surfaces and sounds like it could be towards the parcel shelf area (mounts).

I removed the wheels today and the roll bar and links seem ok and don't have any play. On closer inspection i pushed one of the rear struts up and it made a creaking/crunsh noise and also seemed quite stiff.

Just wondeing if it could be the top mounts rather than the struts them selfs.

Are they easy to remove from the rear

What do you think?

replace the shocks and top mounts, unless you're a penny pincher.

As the hamster said replace the strut and top mount. Newage scoobs are renowned for the rear struts going.
