downhuman Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Hey guys I have an annoying knock over small / uneven bumps that sounds (to me and a mate) like it is coming from the mid / rear of the car. Does the boot knock? Or is it likely to be something else? I thought it could be the exhaust knocking (Milltek) but can't see anywhere where it wouild be Cheers Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddcboyle Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I used tp have slight knocking in the rear from the strut bar area. Was small knock but turned out to be the little silver cover was wobbling. Not sure if yours is heavy enough knock to rule out that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhuman Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Doesn't sound heavy - reminded me of exhaust heat shields in tone How'd you fix it mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevoD Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 is it a tinny kinda knock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) I was going to say are you sure there isnt a body in there, but someone beat me to it. I never had a knock on my zed, but my missus did on her convertible and it turned out the exhaust back box was very close to one of the bracing struts under her car and that caused a knock, especially over bumps etc. A swift few blows with a sledge hammer sorted her out. (The back box, not the missus) Edited July 19, 2013 by rabbitstew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhuman Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 Yup, tinny - not like a classic suspension knock and does sounds like coming from boot area. Will check the Milltek clearances again.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I would check if the heat shield has come loose between backbox and boot floor. Mine had corroded at the fixing points and was loose. Solution.....ripped it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
