Thanks for all the comments on the rear knocking noise....
Consensus seems to be splines, shock mounts or splined hubs...
I'll keep you posted.

Yes, Most likely a loose shock. When they get to the point where you have a
"knock", the mounting holes may now have become oval. Rather than just try
to
tighten the old bolts, I would remove them, clean and oil them up and
replace
the nuts with new nylocs.
