    Clunk First, then Rattle Bang Whallop!

    Backed into a lump on a driveway the otherday in the astra3, now got a rattle from the exhaust.

    The center silencer has been shoved ~½" forward and the N/S bracket is rubbing and banging on the mounting bracket on the underside of the vehicle.

    Just wonderign if its possible to shift it all back, or has it caused some more damage, hence the reason its gone forward, has it maybe distored the exhaust manifold? Please, hope not.

    Just check along the system for bends/kinks, at the downpipe to first box springs and joint, and the hangers on which the rubber mounts sit.
    If you can't see anything untoward, try bending the hangers a little to push it back.
