spidermonkey Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Hello all, I have a very annoying knocking from the rear drivers (I think) side, the car is a 94 TT6 J spec, fitted with HKS suspension (purple top mounts) and tannabe ARB's, could it be the suspension or a bush is knackered? I have just replaced the top and bottom boot rubbers, had the wheels balanced and a full alignment, the sub frame is nice and tight????? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermonkey Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 wheel bearing , exhuast ? Its more of a metallic knock/tick noise, happens mostly on uneven surfaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camry5Sgte Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 The bushings securing the hatch lid might need replacing maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're pretty old to be fair, does anyone know if I can just replace the bearings or is it a complete top mount? Also driving to work this morning the sound seems to be coming from the rear wheel area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Far too many things it could be so i'd just get it on a ramp and go over every nut and bolt all the suspension bushes inc drop links, arb mounts, sub frame bolts, diff carrier, etc etc Knackered dampers can knock when they fail so worth a look at those too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
