[Healeys] Rear Knocking noise

[Rich Holman]

Check to lug nuts holding the spline adapters.   I had a knock, thought it was
a u-joint,Not so.  I faithfully check the tightness of the Wing Nuts, but not
the lugs, and almost lost a wheel.   Ruined the spline adapter.

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
