banging from rear back wheel when going over bumps - himindoors - 16-08-2013
the rear bang from back near side im right in saying the shock has had it, I understand they easy replace. any guidance guys would help.
RE: banging from rear back wheel when going over bumps - Scott - 16-08-2013
Moved to the right section. Banging could indicate that the rear beam is broken (bearings have gone) and needs replacing. Is there any camber on the rear wheels?
RE: banging from rear back wheel when going over bumps - himindoors - 16-08-2013
no camber

there is some oil residue on the shock, but its a gas type

are you sure it's not rear beam mounts?
RE: banging from rear back wheel when going over bumps - titch - 16-08-2013
Could be one of the beam mounts as above, i have just changed all of mine and now no more knocks.

rock the car in reverse with handbrake on...if it knocks, likely beam mounts.

wont help front beam mount are a pig to diagnose unless they are hanging and these are the ones likely to be banging
RE: banging from rear back wheel when going over bumps - Piggy - 17-08-2013
if the beam aint cambered and shocks are ok...99% of time it be mounts!
RE: banging from rear back wheel when going over bumps - Dale - 17-08-2013
anti roll bar! i bet the end plates are lose!
Re: banging from rear back wheel when going over bumps - aggyj17 - 17-08-2013
I would say beam mounts
RE: banging from rear back wheel when going over bumps - Bender - 21-08-2013
Its either the rear mounts, ARB end plates where the bush has worn out possibly or similar and the last one is the lower shock bolt nut, this has been known to come loose and cause knocking.

there is another possible cause... loose spare wheel, will knock against the boot floor over some bumps, mine's doing it atm, the adjuster is solid so it's soaking in plusgas until tomorrow

my thoughts that too I checked the spare is flat so might be that

have a look at the shocker bushes,
they sometimes move off them
RE: banging from rear back wheel when going over bumps - himindoors - 25-08-2013
well the banging was coming from a tyre cage, with a flat tire in rack. Der what a muppet. :-(

Glad you found the problem, least if you hear any other knocks again then you know what stuff to look out for.
