Bryan,
Had this same problem on a Jag XJ-6 I used to own. Turned out that the cause was 1)too little hydraulic fluid 2)some sort of air pocket in the system. The causitive problem was a seal which had an imperceptible leak. The hydraulic lines shook each time it knocked. Started out being very minor and with time grew steadily worse.
As to the squeak, had the same with my 735i. Sprayed WD-40 on the assembly that attaches to the accelerator pedal. Cured it for 1-2 months at a time.

1. Changed the RR self leveling shock on my 88 750il. Now I have an intermittent knocking from that area. The self leveling systen never made that noise before, and seems to be working properly with no leaks. Any idea what this is?

2. Anyone know what causes the squeaking in my accelerator pedal? It's really irritating, so I just turn up the stereo.
