tailshaft noise?

Postby mossy » Mon Mar 12, 2007 7:31 pm

I'm getting a strange sound from under the car now I'm wondering if this is the cause, I just had my exhaust done and it looks a little close to the tailshaft

Can you see any rub marks on the tailshaft?

I think you've just answered your own question 8)

I suggest you take it back to the exhaust shop and get them to re-mount it.

there is not even any reason for it to be that close!
