Watching with interest as mine does the same, more when I turn into a drive way.

I have the ARB rear bar and find the Towbar hitch makes a knocking sound whenever I hit a significant bump, no anti rattle bolt on her

I use a suitable bit of firm rubber and wedge it in the gap between the tow bar tube and the hitch, it then gets compressed before fitting the pin - no more rattle.

The anti rattle bolt was useless and is now virtually rivited into the tube.

Apart from this; all the billy cart suspension bits as others have pointed out.
Don't let the b'strds get you down!!

i had same problem . went on for months . took it in to pedders for the 29$ tech inspect to try and get some ammo as ironman and mitso didn't want to know about it . Excessive movement in the leaf springs .The leaves were replaced under warranty and the noise magically disappeared . used to happen when cornering at speed or turning in to driveways . It was just a single knock .
