Re a knocking noise to the rear.
Has anyone changed the rear mounting bushes on a ZT ? I believe they are a solid bush and are nla as a separate item. Is this a very common problem or could knock noise be shocker top mounts or bush to chassis failure the later still being available.

Any help would be grateful.

Extremely unlikely to be the bushes. My money would be on the arm to hub bushes or the roll bar links.

I was convinced I had a knocking from the rear, so much so, I bought some rear drop links. Turned out to be front drop links

The noise transfers somehow, so I would check the fronts
