Im no tuning expert, but it sounds like the tune is expecting full E85 and getting E60-70. Knock is never good. I advise bringing it to a tuner and backing it off a bit.

Why has nobody mentioned Trailing Arm bushings. The thrust of the wheel goes straight through the trailing arm. Allowing it to move forward and backward.
