I've been hearing like a hollow knocking noise for about 3 weeks now,sounds like it comes from the back of the car behind the drivers side.I've had the bearings checked & exhaust couple of days ago.Now since yesterday when I pull away there's like a clonk noise sounding like it comes from the back passenger wheel area (doesn't always happen).The car is a clio automatic,now I know it groans when you go to pull away coz that's what automatics do,but i've never heard it clonk.What could these be & do you think they are related? Thanks!!!!

It actually doesn't really happen when I go over humps and neither noise happen ALL the time. The hollow knocking is more when I go round a left corner.

Your rear struts/shocks are bad.When your car pulls away the rear of the vehicle will drop causing the shock/strut to compress.This noise usually happens when you have a bad shock or strut.Hope this helps.

Very curious noises can eminate from broken coil springs - you may be mistaken as to where the noise is actually coming from. I had a game locating a noise on my clio and it was a fractured front coil spring - sounded like going over loose manhole covers.
I know the rear on my clio was torison bar suspension so if it really is the rear making the noise I have no idea. I never had a groan from the auto box, just plenty of gallic unreliability.

Sounds like a duff bush or suspension strut. Forgive me if it seems stupid, but there's nothing rolling around in the boot, is there?
Happened to me a little while ago, I wondered what that strange scraping followed by a thump was from the back until I found a packet that had been left behind when we unloaded the shopping!

Sounds like the bushes on the suspension, however you do not say whether the noise continues or is only on start up.

if it clunks over bumps then it is a strut.if it bangs from the rear durning start up then it is probably a broken muffler strap...good luck

If this is a rear wheel drive, you might want to check your tranny mounts and u joints.
