   Hi guys, I had the rear axle replaced on my saxo a month or two ago, but its making this noise when weight is placed on the back of the car, like a knock, click the link to see the video, its me pressing on the boot floor so that it makes the noise, I don't know what it is but its only started recently
   
   I hope theres nothing wrong as I have no money to fix it lol!
   
   Thanks for your help

   make sure the bolts for the shocks are tight. second would be the bushes, have you put the large washers in the right place?

   You beat me too it,I believe there`s a bush of some kind on the shock mounting this may have perished causing play in the shock.

   Ah right, mums old car used to do something similar, and it turned out to be the bushes, so I'll definitely look into this, thanks for the replies!

   Which bushes am I looking for? I keep finding ones for the trailing arms but I thought those were bearings?
