There is a knocking when driving the Rodeo,

I recall Eithan saying about a shackle that has to be replaced every other service, would this be the cause of my knocking or could it be something else, UJ ont he prop for instance,

Its worst when cornering and feels like its coming from the passenger side of the car, passenger can feel it more than the driver.

Cheers for your help.

James

I think some more specific information is needed,if you want  some diagnoses.
When it plays up, what speed, exact sound,is it  something rotating,vibration as well......
My Aussie Rodeo had a knock which turned out to be the jack under the rear seat.
Seriously it could be anything from mountings,suspension,exhaust,calliper.loose wheel nut,shocky...etc etc.

ahhh i see in your pic you have side steps fitted, it might be worth just removing the passenger one and seeing what happens

[James Hoban]

All the bolts holding the side step on are tight and present, would it still be worth taking it off?

The knocking happens when cornering mainly. Its more of a knock than rattle as I would expect to hear a rattle more often.

Cheers
