Banging from the rear end

[Grahamy]

Ive noticed over the last few days that there is a banging noise from the rear of the car when its driven over speed bumps , rumble strips etc.
Took the car down to a small local garage for a quick look ( i thaught it was a exhaust bracket or heat shield ) but he said it was all fine . Could not get the car up on the big ramps as he was dropping a clutch so he checked with a large jack, what else could cause this,

300 mile drive on saturday too , theres always something...aaaaarrghhhhhhhhhh

One possibility is the rear upper control arms, jack the car & rock the wheel.

Grab your wheel at the top and pull it towards you if there is play it is your upper control arm

The rear UCAs don't cause so much a banging from the rear () as a clunky rattling sound, in my very humble opinion. It could well be those, though. I replaced my own in a couple of hours about ten months ago.

I had the wheel alignment set up on a four-wheel machine afterwards too and some new budget tyres fitted. This work transformed the car! It tracks nice and straight, pulls up cleanly and straight-as-a-die and handles well for a large-ish car.

My UCAs were about £27-odd, delivered, from eBay.

I should say so. You may have to 'persuade' Vauxhall a bit, mind...
