Posts: 50 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: Help knocking noise from rear I have a smilar problem with my Mk2 Punto 1.2i. It only happens in first and second gear, I get this rattle noise at the back of the car. I've looked at the exhaust, suspension etc and can see no obvious problems. It sounds like two bits of metal knocking against each other and causing a rattle sound. Any ideas????

Posts: 28 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: Help knocking noise from rear i have checked handbrake cable seems ok i have notice under more inspection that if i rock the car from side i do not get the nocking noise but if i open boot then bopunce car up and down from there i get the nocking sound still on passenger rear i have also noticed i get the nocking more sometimes when braking. i think it is something on suspension but cant for the life of me pinpoint it and it is a cosly game to replace parts at a guess. the car has been stood for 8 month do you think it may be dampers gone as it does bottom out quite easily over slow bumps the suspensions bushes mentioned are these the rubbers top and bottom of springs or if anyone can post a pic pointing this part out or mail me a pic much apreciated. stevehickey6@yahoo.co.uk
