Fix one thing and another goes... (onto coolant issues)
The DIY mechanic work never ends!!!!! I seem to be fixing something and then finding something else needs doing straight after!!!!I love it and hate it at the same time!
When i bought the car there was a knocking over rough terrain and i replaced the rear subframe bushes (with great difficulty i might add), and that sorted it out (about 5k miles ago). Since i have replaced the front/rear sway bar links, rear brake discs/pads... Then both lower control arms.
A couple of weeks ago i was getting another knocking noise from the rear, which turned out to be the rear pitman arms which i replaced with lemforder ones and all was well.
Now about two weeks later i'm getting the knocking noise again from the rear, so i checked all bolts were torqued correctly, which they are. It sounds much like the noise i got when the subframe bushes were goosed. I used main dealer parts so i don't expect them to be gone after 5k miles am i right? The noise is loud and very annoying over even slightly uneven roads, as it just knocks and knocks and knocks.
I'm at a loss about what it could be, any ideas welcomed, what should i check?
