rust!
« on: December 02, 2006, 13:24:29 »
Ok guys, just found this while searching for the source of a knocking sound from the back end. Being so close to the spring mount, should I be driving it as it is, & could it have something to do with the knocking?

personally, i would get it sorted asap, as you cant be too careful with a monocoque like the XJ!

this is a typical weakpoint on an XJ!

have you checked the spring bushings for wear? that might be the knocking....

They said f**k me thats a big hole! They then welded a patch over the hole from the inside, made a nice job.
