I have a new rear knock!

Post by mjennings23 » Tue Aug 15, 2017 7:25 pm

Detected a new knocking!

Coming from the rear, but had new shocks and RTABs done a few weeks ago so can rule them out.

Can be heard when pushing the car down hard repeatedly, and repeats a few times after the car seems to settle, suggesting it's something loose and knocking into something else.

I'm not able to get the car up on ramps yet, any suggestions as to a possible culprit?

Top mounts maybe? Were they done when you had the new shocks?

They were, but I may take them out and check everything is together correctly to remove them as a potential.

Aside from that, it's now thrown up EPS issues so a slight knock has fell down the priority list
