Hi I have a knocking sound coming, I believe, from the rear passanger side of my W reg 3dr Astra sxi. It only seems to happen at slowish speeds when going over bumps. First of all I thought it was the exhaust, but after removing the back box and having a drive the noise is still there. I then removed the rear wheel and jack, removed heat shields, and checked it wasn't the boot and the noise is still there. If I bounce the back end there doesn't seem to be any noise.
Now I'm starting to think it may be the rear bushes or the strut. Can anyone shed some light on this or throw any other ideas on what it could be?
I also believe it has cobra lowering springs on from the previous owner. The drops not big, 20-30mm, could these be causing or of caused the problem???
Many thanks.
