hi guys i have noticed i got a knock coming from the rear of my car and it getting that annoying i need to sort it out soon. i have had the car on a ramp with a pry bar in on the rear mounts to see if there knackered or broke but i cant seem to fault them. is there a chance the rear mounts are knackered or could it be rear shocks? |

I have it too - going over bumps it sounds like exhaust is hitting floor, but isn't. I've not got any play either, so had been difficult to diagnose.Options I'm investigating are - ARB end plate/bolt secured. Knackered rear mounts. I've ordered new mounts from Pug and am hoping to get it sorted soon. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

Not cheap - can't remember exact price (still waiting for the dealer to assemble all the bits) at least £200 for the 4 mounts IIRC. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

Loose bolt at one end of the damper? Had that one mine, so the damper was moving side to side, only by a millimetre or so but was enough to cause a hefty knock.________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Also check the damper bushes. I've got a knackered one on my Bilsteins and it knocks like mad. Nick ________________________________________ AKA nick on 205gtidrivers.com |

Good tips - maybe we should have a FAQ for rear beam knocking. I'd looked before and couldn't find one. Am definitely adding above points to my list (even though my rear bushes look nasty and need doing anyway). ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

genuine replacement shocks are more than ample imho i've found that the only reason the bushes deteriate (sp?) is that the bolts have not been tightened with the weight of the car on the wheels ________________________________________ FRESHLY RE-FURBISHED GTI BEAMSFITTING AND LOWERING AVAILABLE.

The bushes are cheap enough. £6 each plus post direct from Bilstein, so I'm guessing a similar amount from Koni.Nick ________________________________________ AKA nick on 205gtidrivers.com |

I'm doing my rear beam mounts in the next couple of weeks, but might as well check these too as they could be the source of my noise.Would anyone know whether these bushes are aval separately at Pug (i.e. without having to buy new shocks) or would the Koni/Bilstein ones fit? ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

Thanks. I have standard rear shocks. I will ask Pug and see if the shock eyelet bushes can be purchased separately. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |
