try rotating the spring till it locks into the rubber cup. i had the same problem when i had my GD3 and that seemed to fix the knocking. while you're down there you might as well check to see if the strut bolts are secure.

rear torsion on the fit is a pretty simple design so the knocking has to come from either a loose cabin strut bolt, a loose outside strut bolt, or the spring isn't making flush contact in its perch. if all those are fine then the knocking could be coming from something else: loose wheel lugs, loose spare tire, or a loose scissor jack maybe?

whatever it is i hope you're able to fix it soon. suspension noise can be a pain in the butt lol
