Knocking sounds from rear suspension - Stratocaster26 - 20-04-2014
2001 Peugeot 306 1800, Problem - Knocking sound from rear suspension when going over bumpy ground. Seems it is a common problem with this model. What I need is some kind of diagnostic method to nail the offending part and procedure to put it right.

Jack up the rear of car (suppprt on the sills) and move wheel up and down and check bushes and play in beam

From what Ive gathered there are several components that can cause the knocking sound . I am going to put the rear up on axle stands and look for worn parts. Know of any diagnostic procedures ?.

I had the same problem in the drivers side. So annoying!

No drop links on the rear

By Drop links i presume you mean those struts that go from horizontal bar underneath chassis to the shocks. this is front suspension, my problem is rear suspension, anyway those were the first things I replaced.

Rear beam mounts. There's an FAQ on how to do it somewhere

mine was the spare wheel, It had got deflated and was banging round check that area first, also make sure the tyre rack is fully wound up

Also chek that the rubber on the shocks where the bolts go through arent badly perished. Had this happen before.
