When i go over bumps I can hear a loud clanging from under the back of the car, presumably its the exhaust???
Only started yesterday when i got my car lowered. Guessing its due to the increase in bumpiness of the ride.
Anyone had this problem? Is it easy to fix?
Cheers lads,
Josh

i got the same problem. its hitting off the axle. some people managed to stop it by getting stiffer rubbers to hold the exhaust higher, but i think im gonna have to get my exhaust heated and bent over the axle a wee bit more

the exhaust will be hitting the axle, undo the clamp behind the back box and rotate it so the nuts point upwards, this creats more room, other way is to undo the clamp and twist the backbox slightly it lifts the bend that goes over the axle and helps it clear, i did this last night on my car, if ya choose smaller rubbers, get ones for a ford focus they are better, my cars lowered 60-70mm at the rear and mine dont hit no more
