Have noticed over the last few weeks a knock from the rear occasionally when going over speed bumps etc and also a bit of a rattle at times. Had a puncture recently mad.gif in rear passenger side and when changing wheel I noticed I could lift the wheel slightly (when still attached!..) and would hear a knock as though the suspension was lifting then hitting something?

Should I be worried?..

Definitely sounds bad to me.

If you can produce a knock by lifting the wheel, I guess a knackered damper...?

Dodgy bushes perhaps?

I know I def need front bushes sorting, looks like my rear needs attention too - so to speak!!! It all comes at once!!! Recently spent nearly £800 getting clutch (uprated), brakes (uprated) and cam belt done as all needed doing at same time plus just had to replace an almost new tyre thanks to the puncture mad.gif

I think the rear is only two bushes unless you want the anti-roll bar done too. So that should not cost too much.
