Noisy Glanza (at the rear)

[ady2k5]

I've had my Glanza for approx 1 and a half week now, when i go to work and back there is a road which has a few small humps on, i do however slow down go over them slowly.

My Glanza is fully standard and no modification what so ever, but when i do go over the bumps, it just seems rather noisy from the back, i was concerned there may be something wrong with the suspension, i've checked it and the suspension seems ok (got out of the car and pushed down on the rear suspension to make sure its not very bouncy)

Ist this supposed to be normal or could there be something wrong, i used to take the same journey in my previous car (Ford Fiesta mark 3) and that was fine.

The car still has 11 months MOT on it and didn't have any problems with the suspension when it was tested.

Any views most appreciated.

Thanks

check your exhaust rubbers see if they are perished in anyway and give the exhaust a little jiggle to see if it hits off the heat shield.

Get the wheels off and check the shocks for leaks and check the suspension bushes at the bottom,they may be perished.

What are the signs that the suspension bushes have gone at the bootom and also the shocks are leaking, what will be leaking from them, wont it be visible where i park and i can check for any leaks the next day?

I thought it wouldn't be any of these items as won't they normall come up in the MOT and that was done only 1 month ago and there wre no advisories in the MOT, all that needed replacing was a bulb and a front tyre. I've only had the car just over a week and it looks like its already causing problems

Did the garage you bought it from do the mot?

there may be slight oil leaks from the shockers where the shaft goes into the strut.

Perished bushes will allow the shockers to move at the bottom.

I purchased it from a guy on here and he had the MOT done on it, its totally standard and he had it on the cars for sale section.
