Ba Rear End Knocking Noise.

[Danlucas]

Hey guys as the tittle states I have a very very sensitive knocking noise in the rear end, comes from the left hand side, will knock over the smallest bumps.

So far I've replaced, diff bushes, rotors, calipers, hand brake shoes, link pins, D bushes.

The bills are building up for this, and it's doing my head in.

My next step is to check the shock on the left hand side, but do worn shocks make a knocking noise?

Any other ideas would help me a lot.

Thank you.

Spring seat worn through? Easy to check if it's been lowered as the springs just about fall out when the rear is raised hahaha.

I didn't even think to check that il have a look, as my car is quite low.

Spring bushes are fine, shock is fine and not the problem.

Any other ideas?

swivel/rose joint up the top on teh left?

mine had clunks etc in the arse and and that was teh cause.

jack rear left up, and grab the wheel at top and bottm and try and rock it like push top in and out etc. you will soon know if its that. you will need some force to do it too

Check the hand brake cable behind the rotor also.. if it is slightly loose it tinks/rattles over little bumps

Outer control arms bushes. My fg had a bad rear end clunk and changed a heap of things and wasn't until I changed the upper outer control arm bushes and lower outer control arm bushes that fixed it. Cheap to buy the bushes, expensive labour wise

Hey guys thanks for your answers but was The hand brake cable ratting on the rotor, it lost the little ball bearing thing in it.
