    Hello all,

    So further to my previous postings, I ended up getting a 960 - with 7
    seats, beautifully kept 2.5 CD. Very happy.

    However, on the way back from the garage, and yesterday on way to work,
    I heard knocking noises from the rear of the car - somewhat reminiscent
    of broken CV joints on older cars. On looking at when I got home, it
    seems the rear, driver's side is lower than the near-side, and on both
    rear wheel clearance from wheel arches is only about 4cm, which seems
    low. I am wondering if I need new shocks? I'm not especially
    experienced in car maintenance, so I'd probably have to go to a garage,
    but was wondering if this sounds likely. Other possibility I thought
    was bushings.

    Does this sound sensible? Or do you need more information, evidence,
    etc? If it was shocks/bushings, what do you think would be a realistic
    amount to budget to get it fixed (I am UK-based).

    Thanks,

    S.
