What causes a knock sound in rear of 2001 Saturn wagon strut system?
A loose strut.
There is a nut at the top of the strut that is sort of difficult
to tighten. Get a box wrench for the nut and slip it over the strut
shaft. Notice the top of the shaft of the strut - it's not exactly
round. It's sort of oval, thus enabling you to hold that with vice
grips. Place the vice grips on the shaft. Hold the vice and tighten
the nut. Don't over tighten
Same thing happened to my car. Hope this helps.
