mine was doing this and i found out it was the exhaust hitting the back of my car under my bumper. so the angle grinder came out, and no more banging | |

Cheap solution: fix some rubber on rear beam where the exhaust is to deaden the sound | |

Mine is literally the exhaust pipe touching the rear beam, dont have the problem with the exhaust clamp. I need to get a custom exhaust made that wont touch the beam when I have people in the back | |

It's the exhaust banging on the rear beam. Think you can get the pipe bent to cure it though! | |

Mine does this and always has done it ever since I lowered it. Everytime I have passengers in the back it rattles on the rear beam. Was fine before it got lowered | |

from what i can see or feel i think its sitting correctly, i would say if anything its sitting closer to the front but not by much if at all. im just thinking about the rear suspension but how do i tell? cant be arsed taking it to a garage. | |

check that exhaust or any part of the metal brackets that it hangs off aren't touching inner skin of rear bumper, | |

when car has a heavy load there is a knocking sound coming from the rear of the exhaust. i think it maybe rubbing the rear axle when iv got passengers in the back ( no posts telling me to take the rear seats out please lol) |
