I don't have a knocking on all 4 wheels. But my rear suspension makes a really annoying creaking noise, and it's getting worse...

 

[lemongopher]

do you have any ideas what it might be..........i was thinking struts.

I was thinking the same thing...I am going to be putting new struts/springs on it after christmas and if that solves the problem, I will let you know.

Explain this suspension knock for me... Does it knock whenever you hit a bump? Does it make a noise as the wheel turns repeatedly? What does the sound SOUND like, is it like a metal hitting metal sound or something else? What year and how many miles does it have?

Maybe by answering these questions, it might clear some things up. If not, I think this will be hard to troubleshoot, harder than telling the difference between a monkey in heat in a bachelor party.

ya.......whenever you hit a bump, it does not even have to be a bump..but a shift in the pavement. just little shifts can make it (as well as big bumps) it does not happen when i make tight circles..it sounds like a knocking, ya metal vs metal but no but i was thinking like the struts are worn...but the car does not bounce ...the car rides nice.
i have a 93 V6 5 speed LS.....with 86000 miles.
