Yaris making knocking noise - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hi all,

My first post please help/advise, I have brought a second hand Toyota Yaris T-Spirit 53 model and not expert in cars . When I drive over bumps, braking sometime or taking sharp right turns it makes knocking noise not sure if it's at front or back. I have been told that exhaust pipe is bent and hitting the chaise. I don't want replace exhaust and then find out it's something else causing the problem. Anyone come across anything like this.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Knocking is too vague of a description, especially since 'knocking' is usually associated with a door, or engine knock which is the premature detonation of fuel in the cly.

Anyway, more elaboration would help.

I don't think it's the doors or engine, it hard to describe it really but it's like if you screw a nut really tight and it sort makes noise when you are unable to screw it further or when screwdriver snaps off.

I would take it to the shop and let the mechanic ride with you to help diagnose. Or let a friend drive and then you can spend the time figuring out where the knocking is coming from.

Ok, thats TONS better. It does sound like your exhaust is hitting something.
