Infernal rear knocking!

[Breandawg]

I've checked all the usual culprits. Parcel shelf, rear seat squabs, spare wheel well, I've folded the rear seats down - no difference.

Rear right side, usual low speed of rough roads. Sounds like a knock, kinda hollow. I've removed the wheel arch liner and the shock seems fine, including the sleeve thing around it. Rear springs are good and I've replaced the isolators.

Any known culprits? Car drives right, suspension feels good.

check the bushing where the suspension beam mounts to the body. Those have a fair amount of give in them to begin with, so if worn out, could be a noise point.
