knocking noise from rear
I was driving home from work today and all of a sudden there was a knocking noise that seemed to be coming from the rear suspension whenever I went over any bumps. I stopped the car and looked underneath but as far as I can tell, nothing looks out of place.

Re: knocking noise from rear
I did a search and found out about the possible loose bolts on the sway bar. I just got my pt a few days ago so I guess I'll just take it back to the dealer.

Re: knocking noise from rear
...or the exhaust pipe as it goes over the rear axle. Maybe one of the hangers came loose.

Re: knocking noise from rear
The spare was hanging down way too far when I got it, so I tightened that up previous to this new noise. Anyway I put it up on some ramps and sure enough, the sway bar was lose on the driver's side. I tightened that up and no more noise.
