hey i know this is going to be a really noob question but i can't seem to find the answer any where.

when i go to take off in my ke55 rolla the rear end makes a weird knock sound like the whole rear end is moving forward.

its only when I'm taking off from when I'm stopped any help would be great. I'm sure its just a stock rear end on the ke55 cheers

Well, get under there!

 

See if you can move the driveshaft next to the universal joint at the diff nose. Jam a screwdriver in there and push on it. If you can see movement that is NOT rotational, its probably rooted. The diff will have some play that will let it rotate back & forth.

 

Then inspect the springs where they have bushes in at each end, and probably you will see that the shafts are not sitting in the middle of the bushes because the bushes have collapsed. Get new bushes and fit them.

 

Check shock mounts top & bottom, just in case, and check the U-bolt nuts for tightness, but the chances are you need spring bushes.

Did you leave a bowling ball in the boot? If not try altezzas ideas....

You could also have a (or both) leaking wheel cylinder which will cause the rear shoes to stick to the drum.
