Hi All.
In my bug,there a is knocking sound or creaking sound coming from the back end.Pop reckons it is coming from the swing arms bushes or something(no real sure).If you could tell me how to fix it that would be great,its giving me the shits😬

first and easy check is the shock rubber bushes
if they check out fine might be time for some new torsion bar bushings

yeah i think we checked the shocks and it wasnt coming from there.are torsion bar bushings hard to do.

I had a clunk from the back end, sounded like the battery was bouncing around on heavy bump (which it wasnt), changed the body mount shock pad on that side and all good! Used a piece of my rubber floor mat in the garage.
