Title: Knocking sounds, help
Post by: gavin c on December 01, 2008, 08:17:49 AM
Hi Last week I started to hear a knocking sounds coming from the rear drivers side.
Seems to happen when I go over the smallest bump, change gear or come to a stop.

I took to wheel off and gave everything a tug and when I tugged the drive shaft going from the diff (think is the diff) to the wheel it made a slight knocking sounds.

 
Dose anyone think my diff is on the way out?

 
Thanks

Could be a bush or pillowball, does your car drive and corner ok?
