Its a quick knock but I can feel it through out the car.Sounds like its coming from the drivers rear.I sat in the garage with the hand brake up while going into reverse and forward but there is no noise which sort of rules out the tail shaft.My only guess is that it is diff or suspension related but if its the diff it should be doing it more often.CheersAdrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They loosen up as the rubbers wear, this allows the diff to walk around on the springs and knock. The loose spring mounts/hangers allow the springs to slide sideways and knock on the hangers and mounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
