Title: Noise from rear left when dropping of kerbs?
Post by: lambera on February 10, 2015, 07:49:04 am

I noticed yesterday when going over bumps in the road a noise coming from the rear left sounds like it is in the boot. When dropping off a kerb though it is a lot more noticeable and sounds as if I have dropped onto grid. Does anyone have any idea?

Possibly a broken spring?

Is your spare wheel secured properly?

I've started getting this aswell. I've actually thought about the spare and keep meaning to check that.

I have checked the spare and that is fine. There is definitely something not right. It's going in on Friday to be looked at anyway hopefully nothing serious.
