MG MGF Technical - Knock, Knock!.

Not Dominoes, but my F has developed a knocking sound!.
Only does it when Driving Straight on bumpy roads, no noise on cornering, sounds underbody?susspenders?!.
Am going to put it on the ramps this week, any pointers

Mark,

Look for the obvious like something to do with an exhaust mount.
The most likely cause is a bottom bush on a rear shock absorber which has worn through.
You can buy bushes, but I bought a pair of new rear shocks.

Thanks Tony.

Did think it may be a shocker, but when car is standing know matter how much I bounce the front/rear no noise!.
Hope it is the shocker bushes to be honest, as have been looking for an excuse to change them anyway!.

May show up better on the ramps with the weight taken off the wheels (I hope).

Also look at the TRE's.

Sorry Will (probably Mark as well) it was a very poor late night, too much Tobermory, attempt at a jest. I take your comment in good spirit.
