new shocks but knocking noise in rear at low speeds
What is your question?
Recently had new shocks and a lot of other work done but the car knocks or thumps in the rear at low speeds. The sound vanishes on high speed roads. What causes it? We checked on the spare and the jack and neither are the cause. The car drives very well and there are no other issues. I want to sell it but I need to know what could cause a knock in the rear of the car.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Driving at a higher rate of speed makes the noise cease. Driving at low speed on suburban roads causes the knock or thump.

Have you returned to installer and ask to have this checked out?
There are MULTIPLE possibilities. - way too many - we can’t determine what this concern is from here - *hands-on* evaluation is required.
Hello, a physical inspection of the rear suspension should be performed to see if there are any loose or worn mountings, like a shock mount for example.
Noises are difficult to figure out in this forum; a hands on / ears on inspection is needed.
