Pinging noise from the rear??

Hi...

I have a strange noise comming from the back of my car all of a sudden, its not the ARB plate bolts as ive checked and greased them...

Is when my rear drivers wheel goes over or in a pot holes and the trailing ges up...it sounds like my exhaust hitting somithing...but one its on the other side of the car, two its when the axle goes up not down, plus there inches of room between the axle and exhaust...there is no camber on my wheels, so not axle bushes, checked my dampers, and rubbers, they are fine..checked the bushes between the car and axle (where it bolts to the car)...checked every thing is tight....checked for play...

nothing seems to fix...its lowered 60mm btw it...any ideas guys?

thanks

By this do you mean the 2 13 mm bolts that hold the plates to the trailing arm because if you do you have not done it correct. You need to remove the plastic torx bolt in the end of the arb and use a m8 bolt / large washer / socket to pull them back together. This should stop your noise any ways i put a link to the guide below.
