Default [RESOLVED] Rear Knocking Sound! Need help

Hi fellow s2000 members.

I have an issue with my s2000.
This will only happen during start up and is random...

There is a knocking sound from the rear of my car, most likely around the diff/suspension area.
The knock sound happens for like 30-120 seconds or after 100-200 metres of driving.

I also found out that if there is too much weight on the car it will also happen, how do I know?
I get out of the car and the sounds stop.

I can still drive the car normally when the knocking is happening.

thanks

Dead shock? Does it still handle properly when driving? Do you get a clunk when you go over bumps?
