Knocking noise coming from N/S rear (HELP)

Knocking noise coming from N/S rear.

Have not been out in it to hear it my self but the wife is worried so I thought I would post it up to see if anyone could help.

Could it be a Suspension bush?

what do you have to do to hear it?

 

[tris]

Right hand corrners

I'll have a look saturday - smooth will hold the torch

 

[m0rk]

could be all sorts, but I'll go with the "I told you so" and advise suspension checks... bushes, top mounts & general state of them

or a loose exhaust mount swinging into the beam?

Thanks Stu

 

[tris]

Taking it for MOT tomorrow early so they can hopefully tell me whats broken

 

[m0rk]

not likely.... the MOT is crud for suspension wear

 

[F2 Stu]

All depends on the tester - mine was throughly checked.

[F2 Stu]

[F2 Stu]

[roly]

[F2 Stu]
