Hey there

Ive noticed lately when I drive over a bump or speedhump there seems to be a loud thud from the rear left. Its been doing it ever since I can remember, but its far more noticeable now.

I tried jumping up and down in the back (and i'm roughly 100 kilo's), but couldnt make it do the noise. It just seems like a dud shock absorber or the exhaust hitting somewhere :?

Sounds like a broken shock absorber from your description. Check it out. If it is, remember to change out both rears at the same time. Good luck.

Alternatively, I do get funny noises from things I leave in the two side panels in the boot. I keep all sorts of tools in there and going over a speedbump sometimes shakes this stuff around.

I thought that too, Ian......so I took off the spare and emptied the back, but stil had the noise.

It ended up being the shocks. I just wished they had them in any colour other than white.....they stick out like dog's balls :shock:
