Hi, Ever since I replaced rear springs/shocks on my 1992 900, I've been hearing a knocking noise when going over bumps emanating from the rear right wheel. This was not heard at all before the spring/shock job. All shock bushings are brand new, and are the ones that came with the Koni shocks. I tried removing and reinstalling the upper top bushing to no avail (I haven't yet invested the time and effort to remove the shock and check the lower top bushing, but I have no reason to think I installed it incorrectly). The left rear wheel, which had the exact same equipment installed at the same time, doesn't make this noise. Yes, I have some tools and stuff in the back, but they are not concentrated on the right side of the car, and I really don't think they are the cause. I've checked that the spare tire is firmly bolted down (though that's on the left side anyway). Thoughts? Thanks, John
