Hi folkes.
I have an irritating knocking coming from the rear of the car, however when on the ramp there is no apparent fault. Every thing seems to be in good order. My guess would be anti roll bar bushes, but would appriciate a little feed back if you dont mind. is there any other things to look at that may not be so obvious? if the consensus is ARB bushes where can i get them from?
thanks in advance.
oh and where can i get front break pads from?

If it happens on/off power (as opposed to going round corners) check the top diff mount.

Demon Tweeks do Brake pads - Ferodo, Mintex, Pagid, EBC pads in most compounds - they might not be able to tell you the correct pads just by 'Cerbera', so you may have to measure the pads before you call them.

I had a knocking on/off power. Top Diff Mount Bracket. It broke a few days later and cost all of £22 for a replacement at my local garage smile

Is the knocking when you go over speed humps etc? if so its the ARB bushes,you need to strip them down to lubricate them properly

thanks guys, the knocking is when I go over even the slightest bump. Sounds quite loud TBH, and i dont fancy going all the way to les mans like that.

can you strip them down? thought you would just replace them.

The TVR service points I've used in the past simply 'lubricated' them. Noise dissappears until shortly before next service :S
