Hi. I am in desperate need of some advice.

The wife has a 306 p2 xsi with disk beam and over the last few years I have had a knocking which has been getting worse. The beam works fine and the arms moved smoothly with no neg camber.

1. I replaced the beam mounts - no change
2. I replaced the shocks - no change
3. I replaced the whole beam from a car I broke last year (I drove the car for 6 months before breaking it so i knew the beam is good) I swapped it over complete with the mounts and brakes. Went out for a drive and it still knocks

What else can I change? Its a hard jarring knock that is more pronounced going round left hand bends. It is hardly noticeable when the car has passengers.

To add its definitely not the exhaust or the spare wheel and carrier as they are lying on the garage floor.

Fuel filter strap broken?

Thanks but parcel shelf is on the garage floor with the rear seats and the jack.

and the fuel filter is strapped in.

handbrake cables and clips are fine

fuel tank retaining bolts and retaining arm are all fine

rear arch liner is fine

bump stops are fine and the car is standard so never really get used

rear brake lines are all clipped into place

"is there any wear on the rear brake disc face plate? (an over tightened wheel nut could have stripped threads)?" I have replaced the whole beam including the brakes.

The knock is like someone hitting the chassis with a lump hammer! its a proper jolt you can feel in the seat of you pants. I have had the car on a 4 post lift at my local mechanics and we cant see anything obvious.

I will pop out and check the drop links but sure its coming from the rear nearside corner

Will also check for a broken front spring snapped at the top.

Thanks
Adam.

exhaust?
