Wifes rear coil snapped last year so replaced it but ever since then theres been a horrible knocking noise

Iv replaced rear bushes/hanger on exhaust as they were gone and I thought it was that, but its still rattling.
Its been thru mot and I told them to really look but couldnt find anything.

Any ideas?? All bolts r tight etc and since its went thru mot presume bushes and joints are ok

Off the wall suggestion is it the correct replacement coil (is it too small ,lets it rattle)

Surprised you did not need to compress the spring to get it in

^^^ that's unusual as it'll be alright to come off but usually have to compress it a wee bit to get it on especially on standard springs

Thinkin bout taking them back off make sure the top nut is fully tightened
