Could be an exhaust heat shield. Its quite a common thing.

If its just a banging I'd say top mounts

Wiggling it with your hand might not be enough to induce contact. Follow the exhaust with you hand as it kicks up over the beam if clearance between the two is about less than 20mm then they will make contact when the car is travelling.

My zaust rattles on the beam on idle when I got more 2 more people in the car. Annoying.

Post by: Bellend on 05 January 2011, 23:00: Why is that banging?
Title: Re: banging noise from backend
Post by: Walkerboy on 05 January 2011, 23:15: well i dont know that one.lol
its all secured but i think the piston(if it is called that) keeps on coming out when i hit a bump ect,causing a banging noise dude
i have changed the bushes and we did have probs trying toget the bolt out,so i dont know if we damaged it?????
it was ok until the snow hit,then i had to go straight over a ball of ice which banged around under the car,the car is low so prob didnt help
