I'm getting a noticable knock from the o/s rear when the o/s rear wheel goes over any minor bump. Is this a sign of a worn toe link? FYI The car is a std VXT with 67k on the clock I bought the car a couple of weeks back and it had only covered 2k in the last 12 months I'm using it as a daily driver and the knock has increased over he last week. Cheers Doug

Mine was the door rattling on the strike pin. Even easier to check, but doesn't mean that you don't also have a bad toe link joint.

Tried bouncing the corner (although not sure how safe it is to give it a good shove on the rear clam) and it didn't move! Maybe I'm not shoving hard enough?
It doesn't sound like the door. I do have a separate rattle from the rear corner of the roof sometimes, but this clonk sounds like it's directly behind you and low down.

Have now managed to bounce the o/s/r - there was no noise at all!

Get someone else to bounce it while you hold the toe link, you will be able to feel it.
