If you have an elusive knock/rattle at the back of a Sprint.

Thinking of buying a Dolomite? Just bought one but don't know what to do next? This forum is specially for you!

... then try the rear brake balance valve.
There was a posting on here enquiring about this ( can't find it right now ) so if it isn't the usual culprit such damper bushes, trailing arm bushes, upper suspension arm bushes, exhaust etc; etc; then try the balance valve pivot point. Remove the nut and link rod and look for a lot of side-to-side play. It can probably be cured with a new pivot bolt of a new fixing bracket.
