Knocking sound from rear when normal driving

Got a knocking / rattling sound from the rear when driving

(Not from in the boot before anyone says lol)

Any ideas? Bushes? Cost of repair?

Cheers guys

Wheel bearing? Dont know, probably £50 each from an independent?

see my thread on c70 rattle could be the same thing told it is a common issue

its not really a tinny clink but more of a banging knock.....

Will volvo charge me to even just look at it do you think? (bradford branch)

More than likely the rear drop links. They tend to wear and make some knocking noises. Try a search on "drop links". I don't think they are big money to fix and a few peeps have done them themselves so I guess it's not a hard job???

I have been and used the Bradford branch a couple of times on Canal Road.
They seem a lot better than my local dealer. Have a call to the service department and have an ask. It's only the price of a phone call.

Not WMS. I wasted my money on one of their warranties when I bought my car, they are about much use as an ash tray on a motorbike.(And if that ash tray or the motorbike were to break, they wouldn't be covered!)

So theres not much chance of me getting my drop links fixed by them then?

I think if you read through the warranty the only things they really cover is a catastrophic engine or gearbox failure. Things like drop links weren't covered by mine but your policy may be different. Drop links aren't expensive to replace though. They are pretty cheap and if you have any basic mechanic skills they are "dooable" at home apparently. You could try ringing WMS but I doubt they will be very forthcoming.
