Only in as much as grabbing the shock and trying to shake it! Nothing obvious but I'll have a better look in the morning.

Look at them from the rear and rock the body up and down slightly, you'll see any excess play if there is any.
Then there are the rear damper / shocker upper bushes. And the front, they are a possibility. But especially check the rear. Maybe all fine though.. Last edited by custom90 on 11th Jul 2016 9:46pm. Edited 1 time in total |

I would go round and double check the fit and tightness of all the arrears which has new bushes. it sounds like a maybe the one of them is loose.. just double check to rule it out! My 1986 90 is currently on a full rebuild, with new chassis, Paint etc.. Very much a hybrid, TD5 Chassis, tub & bulkhead with a 200TDI and LT77 GB Painted in Stornoway Grey
 2 years off the road, but getting close to completion now |

If you've put polybushes in and then torqued everything up as tight as you can get it, your suspension has just been made a lot stiffer and less compliant than it was before so you're going to be putting a lot more force through the various components. The cause of the knock may well have been there before, it's just you're now provoking it when you weren't previously.

Interesting my 110 was fully polybushed by the PO about 2 years ago circa 8k miles and the past two month been getting a similar knock . been mainly when turning right thou. Thought it was swivels or bearings but they are fine!!!

I have embarrassingly discovered the source of the knock when braking hard or big body rolls.
I have a large pull out drawer fitted in the tub which has about a dozen or so pigeon holes for holding various bits of equipment for work. One of the lesser used further back holes has a selection of odd sized sockets for the landy. This weekend I tightened my front wheel bearings and it occured to me that the 52mm lump of a socket might be the culprit! Sure enough, put it back in a different, more padded hole, and bob's your uncle, no more knock! 
I guess it was just stable enough during normal driving but the heavy braking or body roll was enough to propel it against the ali sides of the pigeon hole. DOH!!  |

You're not the first to do this. I chased a knocking sound in my Series 2 for about six months until i discovered that the big adjustable spanner i had in the under seat tool box had become unrolled from the old T shirt I had it wrapped in. 1999 Td5 110 CSW
