Knocking When Reversing

Recommended Posts

kate205gti

i know this is a simple answer but i cant find it :)

 

my cti knocks slightly when reversing from underneath somewhere, its not loud or fast knocking (more a dull clonk really) and doesnt seem to be related to braking

 

ive got a long driveway i have to reverse out of and makes a clonk.....clonk.... clonk.... noise as im going backwards about 5-10mph (can feel it through the floorplan), noticed a vibrating from underneath on the M4 on sunday briefly but that then stopped and hasnt returned

 

any ideas of what to check please :D

First suspicion would be the brakes. Mine do this. It's something to do with the pad locating pin IIRC? Failing that, just check everything for play and that all nuts & bolts are tight.

 

Could be the brake shields broken on the back?

Also check the sub frame bolts are tight, that was what was wrong with mine and it had teh same symptoms.

 

(As diagnosed and fixed by Anthony - thanks again)

Check your exhaust centre rubber, exhaust maybe hitting linkage.
