I have an intermittent knocking noise that sounds like something catching on the wheel but it doesn't happen all the time and doesn't happen when the engine is under load either accelerating or engine braking anybody any ideas before I investigate further??? Thanks ,,, Matt

Check the rear bolts on your lower wishbones are properly torqued up, I had the same issue & it drove me nuts for days. Even after initially torquing them up correctly they neede checking again after a few hundred miles.

Front wheels on a sport will try the wishbones cheers are we talkin rear of wishbone to body or bottom of strut??

To be fair, you may as well check them all, seen as the are all within 30cm of each other. Give the wheel a good shove in every direction, see if there is any abnormal movement.

If it sound like the wheel is catching it could be the arch liner coming lose and hanging down somewhere
