VE II rear end knocking over bumps

[Kingcarl]

Hi All, my ve series 2 has a dull knocking noise coming from the rear over the slightest of bumps. It's worse when it's cold which is leading me to believe it may be exhaust hitting the floor or a buggered exhaust mount, or maybe shocker?
Is there anything common with these that may be worn? Stock car no mods.

if it's a high Ks car it could be any of those but I doubt it'd be a shocker

Its only done 70k

Give the sway bar a shake and see if it moves but come to think of it there's been talk of rubber insulators added to the struts in some VE's so maybe you don't have them. Not sure if they're only up front or all round.

Any urethane bushes can squeak and groan when they are cold

Have you had an eyeball under the car to check the exhaust hangers?

Yeah mate hangers look good but it sounds like something hitting the floor.
My mechanic couldn't fault it on the hoist but I wonder with everything compressed back on the ground would be a better way to check. Does the diff run close to the exhaust?

It does run close, but shouldn't flex enough to touch structure...
Not a rear door latch missing the plastic isolator?
