Well now that I have the engine back together (and running fine, I must add), a new gremlin has appeared in the TR4. I have a knock that occurs in the right rear quadrant of the car whenever I go ove

Have you checked the shocks? They do sometimes loosen up over time and would make a pretty good noise on bumps. Also check the shock links ( the part between the shock lever and suspension ). While
