knight Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Was it expensive to replacesaying that you have a deck!!! they don't have abr's so can't be rear drop links Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesyMB6 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 As standard they don't, do you know if you have one fitted now though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramy Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Cars totally standard far as I'm aware it's a 99 1.6es auto deck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesyMB6 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 So it shouldn't have an ARB then. With cars with ARB and after market exhausts sometimes knock on the ARB. You wont have this problem but its always good to know for the future if you plan on doing these mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramy Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 What could be causing the knocking then , I'm worried it may be a failed shock n cost a fortune , but if I park up n rock the car there is no knocking and damping is fine , only knocks when travelling :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickster Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Check its not being caused by loose items in the boot or spare wheel well. Could also be rear doors or tailgate loose on the locks/ loose brake shield/ loose shock top mounts. Most likely candidate is the trailing arm bush- usually more of a dull thud than a metallic sound, easy to check visually. Otherwise knackered bush on the lower control arm (probably shock mount).
