I fitted a stainless steel backbox to my corsa yesterday, all looked fine but whenever the car is in motion a really wierd rattling noise comes from the area where the backbox is. When im stationary its fine. Any ideas what it could be? I dont think its the backbox hitting on something, could it be a bracket holding it on? Anyone else had a problem like this with performance backboxes?

its a lot easier if u put on a ramp yhe way i do it at work is when its on the ramp salcken the clamp on back box and put a stand uner mid section 2 hold it up an retighten the clamp.
make sure the clamp nuts are faceing upwards and that should cure it

if u cant get a ramp take it 2 kwik fit etc. and theyl adjust it just give the quy a few quid for doing it
