rear knock
Have a 69' 427 with automatic transmission. Just took car out for first time in last 6 months. Noticed a knock in the rear area of car just about every time I let off the gas . Have any ideas as to the cause of this?
Thanks.
Thanks.

If you think it's suspension related, check to see if the shims in frame pocket where the trailing arm connects to the frame. While there, check to see if the bushings are intact. Jerry

U joints, snubber bushing, trailing arm bushing? We can all guess all day but maybe you should get under it and check it out!
