Look on the side of the backbox for slight damage where its been hitting the rear beam. Could also be the bend over the beam. Size of the box matters but in you case it might not be fitted right also.

You should be able to see damage. Mine used to do it terribly with weight in the back because when its fairly low the trailing arm is basically next to the back box instead of being underneath it.

hmmm, ok will look into it - Will also look into new mounts for exhaust - A mates got a spare Poly one somwhere so will try that and see if that helps :)

ive had same right after taking a lowering kit of the car and putting standard stuff back on

checked all bolts and generally anything loose nothing, only started once changed suspension, im changing rear dampers first then springs

heard could be spring chatter

Yeh kind of, but actually they can be pretty loud sometimes :|

dude does it sound like ur goin over them white lines near junctions but not as loud???

True! So u reckon I need new rubbers? These cheap? If so, I'll get them done and see if that helps :thumbs:

But it also did it before it was lowered?

If it's lowered then it will be the exhaust.

Nope, barely moves and is the standard Pea shooter atm - so isnt that - pretty sure its to do with suspension somewhere along the line - Just not sure where!

exhaust clamp on rear axel?

Your exhaust is knocking on the rear beam. Time for new exhaust rubbers. Take it to an exhaust place, they will stick it up on the ramps and take a look for ya. Much easier than lying under it trying to see where it's banging. They will probably pop on some new rubbers for free too, my local place did :)

ur backbox?

Right aswell as my horn not working, I thought Id try and clear up this problem too!

My car has always knocked since the day I had it. Its done 127,500 miles, and was on original shocks and springs - Vauchall told me that was the problem. The knocking occurs when the I go over bumps, or the car has more than 3 people in it - it also scrubs too?

I have now replaced the standard shocks with newer GSi shocks, and -35mm GMAX springs, but still it bloody knocks!!! Has anybody else had this problem? We had a look yesterday for signs of things hitting other things, and scrub marks etc, but saw nowt?

Any help would be good. Cheers :thumbs:
