knocking in the back under carriage

HI,

I have a 2008 MCS and I been hearing a knocking sounds like something is not secured or fasten down. It seems like the sounds is coming from the back and under the carriage. The sounds comes up if I hit a bump on the road. I read that it may be the bushing.

Anyone have this experience or an idea what it may be?

What steps/procedures to check it out to verify the source of the problem?

Thanks,

JC

Wrong forum, might get better answers in the R56 section.

Have you done any mods to your suspension? My first guess would be your end links or sway bar needed tightening.

Folks will need/want more info to help.
