Ive got a Corsa, 1.2, X reg and recently the coil springs for the rear suspension snapped. I sorted it with some new ones (standard) and since then theres been a 'clunking' noise, which i reckon is the exhaust. The noise only happens though when driving over big holes in the road when i have others in the car, or when going down speed bumps.
Ive been told it could be because the rubber 'holders' that hold it on could have moved or need replacing. Ive looked n moved them around a bit which has reduced the noise a bit, but it still happens when there are a few people in, and its worse when i have a full car.
Any suggestions anyone?

Well it could be the exhaust knocking on the rear axle. The more people you have in the car the closer the axle gets to it.
Check the e-clamp is positioned away from the axle.

clamp that holds the backbox on i think other thing is your rubbers could be worn and stretched could try some new rubbers to hold the exhaust up a bit more
