we are talking about the rear brake compensator, the thing you have to mod if you are dropping your car any more than 60mm. maybe its just my car but i dont got one. vauxhall told me it was only on the 1.4 and upwards | |

U sure? my 1.2 16V GLS 5door has one... Maybe just because its a 5 door like? Dont think that would make a bang, its on a spring anyhow. | |

Same prob, but local mechanic said he reckoned it is the rear brake bias valve, you know that little shitty spring thing on the rear axle. But if it was that, I would be locking up the back all the time, and I aint!!! Hmmmmmm, I wonder!! | |

Its VERY normal for coils to touch, dont worry. That could cause whats known as spring chatter but its nothing like a BANG! | |

I had this problem as well......it requires a big peice of Foam or rubber being wrapped around the axel at the point where the exhaust is striking it. | |

yeah, but i think i know what it is, does the spring have a gulley to sit in so the end of the spring is supported. similar to the front spring. cos it doesnt have one at the bottom but does it have one on top? | |

It will be your exhaust banging on your axle, mine does this, what u need to is get a pair of good quality exhaust rubbers and this should stop it . | |
