Hi,

Fiesta Zetec 1.25, the rear suspension is always making a knocking noise. It does it when driving on a normal flat not particularly bumpy road ALL the time. It does not get worse when going over bumps/pot holes. It just remains the same volume and sound on any road surface. At first I suspected the top suspension strut mounts and so replaced these, and at first it appeard to solve the problem, however after about 10 miles it came back again (coincidence that it initially solved the problem?).

Does anyone have ideas what this might be and what I can do to find out?

Cheers

Ben

when this was changed it may have altered the geometry of other conponants and then as they bedded into position the noise returned. did you do the work your self or a garage ?
check spare wheel/ tray are correctly secured
check exaust is not nocking this happens more in reverse or when wheel spinning.
rear anti roll bar bushes should be checked also

I did the work myself. I'll check those things out for play etc and see what I find.

Thanks,

Ben
