knocking from rear when breaking??

Post by quest63 »

I have an intermittent mostly present knocking when I apply the brakes from the rear of the car a 2001 B5.5 estate.

Each application of the brakes causes a single knock, sometimes from the rear left sometimes the rear right sometimes from both almost simultaneously.

I had an independent VW garage look at it but they found nothing.

The car recently passed its MOT without any advisories on the rear end.

The noise isn't heard on say uneven surfaces or bad roads when driving, its only apparent when I brake.

Any suggestions are welcome

Regards
Gary
