Make sure it's not the beam mounts first. My beam knocks like f**k but it's just the mounts ________________________________________ DIABLO GTI-6 - Legend - NILE GTI-6 - SoldCHERRY GTI-6 P1 SUPERCHARGED - Broken up BLACK RALLYE - Sold 205 Dturbo xud9 work horse - Dead CHERRY RALLYE - new toy |

Most likely beam mounts but if there's a lot camber and most likely squeaking it'll be the beam.________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

I didnt think about the mounts, very good point. It will only knock every so often if i hit a bump in the road. But rarely do i hear anything, so do you guys reckon thats more mounts that beam. And on another note of sounds not sure if its beam related and tryed searching on hear but couldnt find anything, but from time to time again only now and then i hear what sounds like brake squeal coming from the rear passenger side when im going round a left hand conrer but im not braking. ths is also the side that i hear knock from time to time. Thats mainly why i thought beam. but could be seperate things. |

Rear calipers love to cause trouble. I replaced mine but still do not seem to like handbrake on, so I never use handbrake unless necessary, park in gear etc. Just got all calipers freed off and greased to alleviate issues. My beam was OK 4 years ago but mounts shot after having knocking symptoms you describe. Replaced them with new OE mounts and all good since. But am getting a new beam now anyway. Knackered beam may also show excessive camber, rubbing on arch liners, noises and other symptoms people on here may be able to tell you about. I park mine up over winter to help minimise these issues as salt gets everywhere. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |
