Had my 95 for a couple of months now and over the last few weeks have noticed a kind of hollow sounding knocking noise coming from the rear.

Also when going over very uneven ground slowly (like my drive entry which is a hard left then up/down a ramp) you can hear the rear springs groaning away. I think this is the noise I'm hearing at speed. Also, when you get hold of the roof bars and rock the car you can hear it creaking.
There's no effect on handling whatsoever.

It's not loud or intrusive but one of those sounds that bugs the hell out of you cos it wasn't there before.

Anyone know of any rear end issues with these motors and what it's likely to be???

Ps I've checked the boot/underfloor etc, nothing banging around. The exhaust is also firmly attached?????
