im getting fed up with the noise my lude is making :?

i get knocking noise every time i go over even the slightest bump and its driving me made, ive done the shock knock "cure" and cut off 1/4" of the metal sleeves and ive had a garage check the rear bushes and i was told they are in really good condition

what else could it be ?

 

Front or rear upper balljoints..

 

ditto

 

one thing i have noticed is that when there is weight in the back of the car the knocking goes away

 

I would also suggest checking your swaybar endlinks and mounts. My knock was caused by that camber-arm-thing in the rear hitting the swaybar on both sides and then a broken sway bar mount...

 

Rear upper control arm balljoints.. its a very common problem.. You have to buy new arms though at 120$+ each.
