Knocking Noise

[Spritely]

My C4 has developed a light ( as oppopsed to thudding ) knocking noise at the rear, predominately on the right hand side.

It seems to occur with small suspension movements.

Any idea's ?

I've had knocking noises at the front of the car, and these were connected to the engine mounts being worn - I know a few members have mentioned knocking noises at the rear being connected to a loose exhaust...try searching the forum and you'll find a couple of threads about it.

I noticed and slight knocking this morning at low speeds when the brakes where on, next time I am near the garage I will get them to have a look...

I found the slight knocking noise at the rear left of mine was due to the rear seat locking clip,the mechanism inside the rear seat was clicking on the bracket that secures the seat,I noticed when I had put the seats down to take some rubbish that the noise stopped.

i have got a knocking coming from the front, when it rides the bumps not too sure that the wheel arch covers help dampen suspension sounds though seem a bit flimsy going to get checked out at 1k check up.......................

Re: the knocking noise.I was getting a loud cracking noise from the front N/S wheel when I was turning right and giving a bit of welly.In fact the first time it happened it was that loud that I thought the CV joint had gone,

it then went on to manifest itself as I went over pot-holes,man hole covers etc.I mentioned it on one of the recalls and the mech said he could not find anything amiss,but it has not done it since then.Must have had `Healing Hands` :)
