Knocking noise coming from rear Please help!!
« on: January 29, 2013, 10:08:02 pm »
Hello people

I've got a golf mk5 tdi and it's recently started to make a knocking noise at the rear I have replaced the anti roll bar bushes and drop links but it is still the same.
The noise gets worse over lots of bumps I would say the noise is like plastic knocking.
I am also lowered on fk silver line coilovers which was fitted about 1month ago.

If anyone could give me some info I would be very grateful.

Thanks

Exhaust?
Definitely not rubbing then.
Dead shock due to lowering too much.?

Is yours like a plastic rattle and does it do it a lot over slight bumpy roads?

I had 2 tapping noises from the rear -
1 was suprisingly loud for a small item - one of the rear number plate lights was loose. Tightened the screws but it did not stop and found a sealing gasket was missing.
The other was a wire loose (leading to my rear parking sensors) behind the R/H side boot trim. Trim is a bit of a sod to get off, so I got the rear free enough to jam some foam in, on the wire. Waiting for warmer weather to do a proper job.
Hope these might help.

And on a previous car I found the number plate rattled. Tightened the screws but the centre of the plate would flap slightly so I stuck it down with double sided foam pads...

Anymore ideas people?

On the rear suspension setup I've got a rubber at the top and then put the adjuster at the bottom but didnt put no rubber under it is this right?
