Hello,
I am new to the forum but a frequent visitor. I have a 1993 jaguar xj6 in pretty much mint condition with only 88k I have recently done a lot of maintenance to it my self. From front to back as follows new cooling fan regulator, and module, new belts, new front shocks, bushings, and breaks. New rear struts, and bushings. New spring top plate, and new sub-frame bushings. I initially started with the rear struts thinking the loud knocking sound coming from the rear of the car on drivers side. (sounds like right above strut in trunk) would go away.
The noise continues even after all of the repairs. I have checked the a-frame bushings and they appear to be fine. There is a control arm im guessing that goes from rear end to the body aprox 12in long with bushings on each end that appear to be weak but i can not figure out what they are called to look up the part or bushings. Any info on this part or the problem that might be making the noise would be great. Thanks Scott
