OK, so the OP got the name wrong as there are no drop links but there is only ONE type of Link on our rear suspension which Volvo call the Trailing Arm Link or Rear Axle Link.
Thanks for that , my mistake for the wrong name.


Can these links cause a knocking from the rear or is it more likely to be the top mounts ?

I'll try to explain, im getting a knocking from the rear but only when I drive over sunken drain covers or pot holes , it doesn't do it when driving over speed humps and its less apparent when the car is loaded.

Standing and bumping the car up and down doesn't produce the knock either.

Foot note :

The car also pulls straight and true, but I do get a slight vibration at around 70mph also coming from the rear im not sure if the two are related but thought id better mention it.
