[Healeys] Rear Knocking noise

[Ron Mitchell]

I had a similar knock that you are describing a few years ago.  It turned out
to 
be loose rear shock bolts.  I tighten them and the knock went away.  It's
worth 
checking.

Hi all,



I have a knock
coming from my rear end that I am trying to track down.



It occurs only 50%
of the time.  Often when jarring the car forward such as
when engaging the
overdrive and sometimes when starting to take off.



I don't believe that it
is coming from the differential but can't be
certain. When the car is on jacks
and I turn the rear wheels back and forth,
I do not get a Knock.



The
shackles are all tight.



Could it be the radius arm bushings??    Or the
bushes on the spring
shackles?



Thanks

paul
