Hi. My X300/-94 gives some rattle/noise from the back of the car when driving over bumps/holes in a road. Earlier the same came also from the front, but it (worn rubber parts supporting the cooler) is fixed now. I also tightened the spare tyre, which was also loose, but the sound is still there. Could the noise be made by a loose gasoline tank? I still have original shock absorbers, but as there are no visible leaks and the car has only 93 000 km road behind, I have not changed them yet.
All ideas wellcome.

 

Try adjusting parking brake 2 clicks up, linkage is known to rattle. When there’s a knock in the back usually it’s the bushings on the shocks themselves.

 

Thanks for the tip. I tried the parking brake,but unfortunately it did not help for this noise. So it’s most probably the shocks.
