As title,getting a knocking noise from the rear of the car and i think it's coming from the driver's side!It only happens after ive been driving for a while and it's starting to REALLY do my tit's in!!

Any idea's lad's?

Thanks

Does it sound like it's coming from the inside or outside? It's not the exhaust knocking against something is it (it expands when hot)?

Hmmm,good question.Im sure it's coming from the inside but when i stop the car and bounce the back up and down i can't here ANYTHING!It's a Milltek exhaust that's on it so would that make a difference??

When the milltek gets hot it expands, it can knock if not fitted wright.

You should not be able to bounce the car up and down. Sounds like the dreaded DRC failure has been wretched upon you.

I have Billstein coil overs on and i don't mean BOUNCE as in bounce,i just mean it doesnt knock when i move it up and down at the back!

i take it is not a rythmic knocking, rather than intermittent?

suggest exhaust (check by wiggling the tailpipe when hot) or cat.

It could be a anti roll bar link .

as grizz has just said! That would be my guess!

I had an anti-roll bar bolt fail ages ago, that knocked... simple bolt and all was good.

Thanks lad's.ill give all of the above a try!!

Almost certain to be the exhaust hitting the rear subframe, where the pipe does its dogleg. Mine does exactly the same and I will eventually get round to having it bent a little further to correct it. Think I have a slightly inaccurate midsection pipe.
