focus knocking from rear
 

hi, guys. bought a t reg focus 16 zetec estate back in jan.:roll: when driving over speed ramps or small potholes etc, ive noticed a knocking sound from the n/s rear , been getting worse over the last few days.( its not the new rear silencer hitting the body) prob one of the bushes on a rear arm ? any suggestions ? thanks guys. steve w.:grin:

will be the usual very common trailing arm bushes cheap as chips to buy major pain in arse to fit

Very easy to fit with the special tool you can buy.
Don't have to remove the arm only drop it down.
Check on ebay trailing arm bush tool
Cheers

£150 for that tool approx :shocked:

Could also be anti roll bar bushes or drop links, not uncommon.
