knockin noise. . . .from the boot??

[JD]

its not the spare wheel/jack kit/something in the spare wheel well, its not the plastic on the boot lid. . . . . any ideas??

it sounds like its coming from the passengers side so maybe the exhaust but its not a rattling, just when i go over an uneven surface its like . . . . a wire tapping the metal or something along those lines. sorry i cant be more precise

Might be the boot lock, check if there is any play in it. Its normally the part that is attached to the car not the boot.

Definately a knocking not the plastic trim that covers the tailgate?

Check your rear springs mate they're common for snapping, can feel it all the way top to bottom, they can crack but at a first glance look okay. Check your shock aswell.

Leaking rear shock started banging?

Did you manage to find out what this was? My car went in for a new radiator last week and there seems to be a on and off knocking noise coming from the rear passenger side of the car. It's only when I seem to go over smallish bumps. Doesn't do it when I go over large bumps.

I have had the exact same problem for about 6 months!!!

 

[Butler205]

Me too, plus I have new rear shocks and springs. I wonder if its the exhaust.

Mine doesn't sound like the exhaust. I've had loads of problems with knocking noises on my newly fitted k-tec so i kind of know every noise. When I start my car the noise seems to come from the passenger side door card. I checked it and it does seem loose.

 

[mattih5]

Well my noise turned out to be the exhaust. Didn't think it could have been the exhaust because it didn't sound like a metal knock. I adjusted it last week because I was getting a rattle somewhere and I haven't heard the knock since.

 

[pinky]

glad it got sorted easily

 

[Rob's172]

my exhaust was hitting the rear axle! took me ages to find out want it was

just needed adusting and it was fine

My rear spoiler makes a rattling noise could be that, not worked out how to stop it yet. Racer - stu mentioned the boot lock, the metal bit that catches the boot lid is wobbly on my car is this normal? I,ve tried tightening the star screw that holds it but it's dead tight already. . . .

 

[C.slicker]

Check the boot lock, the bit that you adjusted on my car?

Also check the rear seats are clicked into place properly.
