How long is a piece of string - just looking for some direction on this

Ive noticed recently a knock when I go over the odd speed bump - drivers side rear intial thoughts

Initial line of thought is:

Drop links
Anti roll bar bushes
Top Mounts

Any ideas?

Could be anyone of the things u mentioned, I had a knocking sound going over bumps before and turned out to be a wheel bearing,hope u find the problem nothing worse than annoying sounds coming from your car and trying to pinpoint them

I had a similar issue a couple of years back. Turns out it was just the top nut on one of the rear struts had come loose. No idea how but a quick tighten and everything was back to rosey

Let us know how you get on.

Actually thinking it I might try the exhaust mount I noticed it was off last time was under

Yea I say that could be it alrite, with a bit of luck nice easy fix sure let us know how u get on

....solved!

While car is up on the stands for coolant change I changed out the drop links to solved the knocking on passenger left rear

Old one was pretty tired and leaking at bottom boot

I dont know what happened with this side but I noticed it had fresher nut on the end of it that was easily shifted

Look what the last butcher done to it - its lasted 6 years as I haven't touched these since I owned here

The other side (working one) wasn't so easy

The nuts cracked off handy enough with the impact gun but the allen key centre jst crumbled

Got a vice grips and plumbers pliers in there behind and shifted it eventually albeit about 45 mins later -

Old ones for the skip

Intial opinions assuming the ones below are genuine toyota parts the blueprint appear to be vastly superior quality wise to what came out
