Banging noise from backend/suspension

[Geordie]

Hey

Ive got a MK IV 1.8Twhich has a banging noise coming from the backend/suspension that has just got worse and worse over the last 6months.  It happens when going over any bumps and pot holes, it feels like theres no suspension, the banging noise is that bad now.

Anyone got any ideas,  i dont know anything about cars but Im presuming off the noise and feel that the shocks must have gone, but my mate said it could be something to do with the rear bushes.

Rear bushes or rear shocks could be the cause but more likely to be the bushes.

Moneys on Rear Bushes.

If the shocks went it wouldn't make it bang but it will bounce all over the place like mine did

Is your car level each side?

+1 on the rear beam bushes 

[Geordie]

Nice one, cheers for that.

Yeah it is level on each side, gonna get the bushes replaced and take it from there.

Which bushes do you recommend, read that people seem to like the Seat Leon Cupra R ones are good to replace them with.

also i saw someone talking about getting 'uprated' version of the bushes... what does that mean?
