I am having my bushes looked at on Thursday ....... I get a knocking on the passenger side rear ...... also when I brake to a stop there is a knocking sound as the car settles down .... if ya know what I mean.

well i have a knocking on the rear near side too so can i join your club!?  i am going to check for leaking dampers tomorrow on wav\'s advice, and although i can check the bushes i don\'t really know what i\'m looking for tbh.  it\'s really bad though - a hollow knocking at slow speed even over small bumps.  sounds like something\'s going to fall off!

A guy i know has just had a Knocking noise when he braked, turned out the part of the caliper that held the pad was worn so the pad moved side to side in the caliper and you would\'nt belive how many times it has been in the garage being looked at. Its always the small things.
