Knocking at rear
« on: March 18, 2012, 09:13:33 PM »
I have a knocking at the rear of my overland which sounds like a knackered shock absorber but disappears when I have some weight in the rear.
Any idea what it might be ????????

I f you get the clunk when you move off or gear change under hard accelerration, then it probably is that ball joint.
