i just put an exhaust rubber on the axle and the clamp is basically resting on it, tried pushing the exhaust up and doing the midsection and cat clamp off and twisting it but it didnt work:( just gota put up with it i think

thats the problem they cant fit it right as they have sold me a dodgy part and ran out of midsections to replace it with, so im just after a qucik fix really.

i will try undoing the clamp and moving it up and do it back up again if all else fails exhaust rubber will be used.

thanks for the help and advice, let you all know how it goes on tomorow:wave:

undo the clamp, then push the exhuast up towards that bottom of the car and then do the clamp up tight again which should take it away for the rear axle, always works for me :)

i had a new midsection on it today and had a phone call at 12 when i got back saying the part might be damaged but they havent got anymore in stock, took it down there and they arent happy with it, and drop it off monday, but im not at home all next week and its banging on the axle, so i only need a quick fix to last a week

hey, i need a quick fix for the back box clamp and the rear axle, ive turned the clamp upside down and there is still about 1 cm clearance from the rear axle. what else can i do to stop it banging. would a exhaust rubber cut in half and cable tied over the handbrake cable work? :wave:
