#1: Knocking from the rear Author: Antknee, Location: ManchesterPosted: Sun Sep 11, 2011 12:50 pm ---- Already replaced the exhaust mounts and removed the spare wheel, cage and the hook and bolt that holds it up
Hoping its not a sign i need a new rear beam
Any suggestions of what i can look for?

I'll tape up the boot in the morning before work and see how it goes, there's this one bad road on the way where it sounds like the back end is gonna fall off lol

Failing that, you're probably going to need a new rear axle. Has you lowered the rear end excessively in the past? or has it ever been?
The bearings in the axle could be shot, and from memory you can't just replace them, the whole thing would need replacing.
You could try taking off your rear wheels and making sure the ARB hasnt worked loose. Basically it could be a lot of things lol.
