Noisy Ride

Hi guys,

going over bumps etc and with the state of the roads here in england the back of the car makes a lot of bumpy rattling noises. sounds like shockers or something. Would changing both rear shockers or springs too? im a bit of a novice when it comes to mechanics.

on a side note the latch on the boot was a little bit of a loose fit on the pin that sits on the body so when you close it and drive you can hear that rattling. Wrapped tape around it and that is now secure. Don't know if its that what's still making the noise but go over any sort of pot hole or uneven road and you can hear it. Any help would be appreciated guys :)

Thanks



For the boot lock the striker plate is adjustable simply mark around the top with a pencil undo the two torq screws it will drop down too far but you've got the pencil mark there all you do I set it to a bit below the mark tighten and retry make small adjustments other than that on the rear it could be anti roll bar bushes a broken spring or strut top mounts or most likely the heat shield around the exhaust at the rear
