Right I’m in a situation where I’m trying to find a knocking from the rear of the beast. So basically it’s had new bushings on the hubs a new rear propshaft as the donut had gone and was just rolling around but I’m getting a noise now that sounds like the rear donut had gone but it hasn’t it’s brand new. The noise is like thump thump thump thump when pulling away not always though. Then as slowing down then speed up again you get that thump noise. I know the rear shocks on the way out to doing them tomorrow. But everything is tight nothing loose….any help would be appreciated thanks

So replaced the shocks with bilstein ones and as before the ride is still lumpy and knocking noise still there has improved slightly but not much. Still getting the thumping noise from dead stop then driving off. Still a problem any help?

Have a similar clunk from the rear suspension, think its more noticeable from the rear left. And maybe also a harshness to the rear suspension in general.

Recent service pointed out - which I already knew and hoped would solve the problem - pads were worn and replaced with new. But still - knock knock. Bushings came back with a clean bill of health from inspection during service. Suggestion from indy might be the driveshaft on its way out, i find this a strange comment, but what do i know.

For me knocking is most noticeable at slow speeds and .... 1) Downhill and braking. 2) Short sharp bumps. 3) Sometimes coming to a dead stop with the car rocking back. 2011 Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

He is referring to the centre propshaft bearing, on a lot of older cars it's a donut, on the fatty it's a bearing...  Pete

Hey deejay with how you have described it is almost exactly what I’ve got now although it will happen sometimes then nothing. So I’m guessing it must be coming from the rear passenger driveshaft considering I’ve changed the rear propshaft and the donut so can’t be that. But I’ve jacked up the rear wheels and spun the tyres and didn’t get any knocking noise
