Important! : Knocking, back left.

31st December 2012, 20:35

Noticed this morning on my way to work that something on the back left of my car started squeeking, thought typical saxo and left it be, need a new back left caliper so thought it might be that.

Noticed a nocking from the back left this afternoon on the way home, just started driving to a mates when the knocking has got massively loud, i can make it do it by bouncing lightly on tailgate and holding the rear wheel and moving it.

Feels like damper isnt connected but quickly checked and all seems tight, will jack it up tomorrow and have a good poke around.

Any help much appreciated, as tomorrow is my only day off work to get this sorted!

Is it okay to drive on until I sort it?

I had this it sounds like two milk bottles clanging together will be fine to drive on.

I recommend not over tightening the bolt it will snap very easy then your be really stuck the bolt is only tightened to around 25nm get replacement from citroen I would help but it's probably the thing I hated doing the most on mine.
