In spark-ignition internal combustion engines, knocking (also knock, detonation, spark knock, pinging or pinking) occurs when combustion of some of the air/fuel mixture in the cylinder does not result from propagation of the flame front ignited by the spark plug, but when one or more pockets of air/fuel mixture explode outside the envelope of the normal combustion front.
Launched in April 1971 by British Leyland, it reused existing mechanical parts such as a front suspension from the 1948 Morris Minor, ex-BMC engines first launched in the early 1950s, and a gearbox and axle sourced from Triumph and introduced in 1962.

When I push the reverse button first thing in the morning, the front passenger door makes a loud banging noise. It happens every time get into the car.
Clunking sounds: Driver can hear the noises especially when turning the vehicle, accelerating or even putting it into reverse. Vibration: An early and common symptom of a failing drive shaft is an intense vibration coming from underneath the vehicle.
The pivot bearings at each end of the lower link are widely spaced so as to provide maximum longitudinal rigidity. Suspension is provided by two coil spring and damper units (yellow) on each side of the differential casing (four in total), the spring and damper units attaching to the crossbeam at the top and the lower link at the bottom.
The Holden Commodore (VE) is a full-size car that was produced from 2006 to 2013 by Holden—the Australian subsidiary of General Motors.Dubbed Holden's "billion dollar baby", [1] [2] the car was available as the Holden Berlina—the mid-range model—and the Holden Calais, the luxury variant; utility body styles were marketed as the Holden Ute.
Depending on the suspension design, the vertical load from the suspension spring may be handled entirely by the top ball joint, or entirely by the bottom ball joint. The damper load, (which is low in normal conditions, zero when stationary, but in peak bump or rebound rate may be almost as large as the spring load) is usually, but not always ...
