barrym028 0 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Could be the parcel self, or maybe one of the rear shock have failed my old rx8 made a knocking noise when i went over bumps checked the rear shock and found one of them to be leaking fluids, replaced it and the problem was solved Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil01 10 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Anti roll bar links?so many things could cause a knock Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Red Yaris 54 111 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Another old favourite with Toyotas is a dry hatch/boot latch mechanism which allows a rattle ......This is often overlooked when chasing rattlesLubrication with a thick grease will prevent the rattle :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

john joe 0 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I had knocking from rear turned out to be anti rollbar bushings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alan333 420 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Another long shot but check that one of the rear seatbelt anchors isn't under the seat. That drove me mental on an astra years ago until i sussed it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimtaxi 4 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Had this problem a couple of times its always been the rear anti roll bar bushes replaced at 80000 then 130000 then recently at 175000. Its the speed bumps and traffic calming ramps which cause large movement of suspension at the rear.taxijim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jumbojake 12 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 open the boot, take the mother-in-law out and try again... failing that get underneath and check your rubbers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tomlomax 0 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I had a similar, very annoying noise. I ended up taking the car to my local toyota dealer, who found it to be the tailgate latch which needed adjusting. they did this free of charge, and although it needs a little more force to close the tailgate, the noie has completely disappeared. Hope this info is some help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
