Banging rear axel

Post by sammclean23 »

Hi,

I posted a topic a while ago about a "Strange knocking". Well now I know the loud bangs are coming from the exhaust bracket hitting against the rear axel.

I have laid down whilst others pushed on the car and this is what makes the noise, but when I go the garage, they simply seem to deny it.

Im going again today to prove that it is that (I have to go to charlie browns because I have a guarantee with them).

I was jsut wondering, is there actually anything they can do to increase the gap between the axel and exhaust?
I dont want to get annoyed with them if there is actually nothing they can do.

Thank you for any replies :)

i have the same problem, i got told there is nothing much that can be done. i got fed up in the end and tie wrapped a old motorbike innertube to the axel. it stops the sound of the banging :lol:

try rotating the back box some times that will lift it slightly, orr try and bend your metal mount points down a bit possibly...
