2009 s40 rear suspension noise
Hello all
my 2009 S40 has started to make a slight knocking from the rear end only over rough surface is there anything i should look at first? i assume the S40 has the same set up a focus? thanks |

When I first had my S40 there was a metallic rattling sound (don't know if that's quite what you're experiencing?). This was caused by the rear brake pads being crappy and not applying the handbrake correctly (foot on brake pedal when applying the handbrake is the correct procedure).

In my experience it could be three things -
1. Rear upper control arm bush deteriorated (sounds like the rear windows might drop out from distinctive clobbering) 2. Rear anti-roll bar drop links are knackered. 3. Loose brake pad
