   Hi Guys,
   
   Just recently noticed a noise from the back end.
   
   The beam was changed a few months ago for a refurb from IMaxle. So doubt its the beam.
   
   The sound is like two cans banging together. From what ive read it seems as if its the ARB end plate?
   
   Anyone confirm?
   
   How do i fix it? as its been happening for a couple of days and the cars a daily driver i dont want it falling apart.
   
   Any advice would be appreciated!
   
   thanks

   Yeah it'll either be loose or on the wrong splines so you're getting metal banging against metal.

   So do i just tighten the bolt holding the plate on or do i need to tighten up the ARB as shown below?
   
   Will tightening the ARB change which splines its on?
   
   cheers
