That sounds exactly what I am looking for - there is
an untraceable knocking sound from my rear suspension
and I have no idea what it is - usual suspects (sub
frame bushes, shocks etc..) have been elimitated - let
me know how you get on

... on my 'bent' rear suspension, I had the bearing
checked and they
looked fine. after much deliberation about whether or
not to spend
money with Peugeot, I found a small engineering firm
that
reconditions and fits rear suspensions to Peugeots and
nothing else,
for not much money at all, with a 2 year warranty.
I'll be checking
them out this week, if successful, I'll post details.
Could save me
a fortune.
