Mikey Jay Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Mine makes knocking noises from the rear of the car, so would be interested to see what people think too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bourkey Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 The first thing you should check if you have knocking from the rear is the car jack in the right hand compartment in the boot.mine was knocking for weeks and when i was fitting my sub and i took the boot apart i realised it was the jack.it has never knocked since.i even had the same problem in my new SR and it was the jack again.To stop it knocking you have to wind the jack out a bit when you put it in the compartment.

Mikey Jay Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Ah...will look later Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy_G Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 could be the rear shocks/ bushes etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
muddyell Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Where is this compartment because my jasck is just floatin around int the boot lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 @ Muddyell, open the boot and look to your right hand side. Is a small compartment with a bit the jack clips into.Can also get to the rear light bulbs from there too Had a look there Bourkey but the jack is secure and won't budge so isn't that knocking.....hmm.....

lurcho69 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 have you checked your ball joints. yea the antiroll bar bolts to the wishbones via a selection of rubber bushes but all my bushes were ok on mine when i refurbished it underneath apart from o/s balljoint.if on acceleration could be engine slap worn bush in the rear engine mounting. Found underneath at the rear of the engine i have fit an uprated one and my bang wenthappy fixing neighbour. ha ha mark. carlisle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletno1fan Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 could be cv joint. mine was knackered a few months back and it knocks when you accelerate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
