Knocking at the back

Featured Replies

Long time and no need to consult the forum  :smile:  but now I do.  :huh:

Legacy 2.5 Auto, 59 reg and 69k miles.

Regularly serviced and MoT'd though I have only done about 9k miles since purchase Jan 2014.

Recently it started producing a KNOCK whilst moving.  This can happen when just about rolling forward and/or at any speed.  It hardly seems related to any particular bumps in the road.  I can go over several and no KNOCK, then something gentle and it goes KNOCK!

I've had it on a ramp several times.  I have replaced antiroll bar drop links front and back.  I can see no loose connections of subframes to body, no broken road spring, nothing which feels loose or with play.  It is not a transmission fault.

Any ideas??   Could it be a shock absorber internal problem?  There's nothing loose in the boot.

Thanks for any advices.

Well, it weren't knocking at the back, it was the front.

One of the recently fitted roll bar droplinks had come loose.  A quarter turn locked it up again and knock was gone.
