Knocking: I had it but only with Boge shocks mfg in Turkey. Actually it was a 'jittering" sound like golf balls rolling around most obvious at low speeds [other noises masked it at higher speeds.] I returned the Boge's and put on KYB's and the problem disappeared on my 88 wagon.

I was told with the Boge's that the holes in the shock through which the bolts go was slightly too large in diameter thereby making the sound. No amount of tightening would solve the problem. I would have gone to the Pick n' Pull before paying $30.00 for a bolt. My GUESS is the torque should be 70 -80 ft. lbs, that's what I used, but someone with a manual should give an authoritative answer.
