Banging noise from the rear of my car?
Searched but can't find anything similar to what's happening... I have a '97 EX coupe and when I'm in the car by myself I don't hear it, but when anyone else is in the car (especially when someone's in the front and in the back seat) I can hear something banging every time I hit a bump or a dip in the road. I've got under and looked and I can see the the exhaust gasket is leaking where the tailpipe bolts to the muffler piece of the exhaust and I can move it a little bit if I pull on it real hard, but sounds NOTHING like the sound I'm hearing in my car when I'm driving... Anyone else had this problem? It sounds to be coming from the passenger side rear so not sure if it may be the suspension (as I only hear it under load) or if it's the exhaust system because they're both on the same side. It sounds like metal hitting metal so I was thinking it was the exhaust but I don't see where someone sitting in the back would change anything about the position of the exhaust system or making it rub more than with no one in the back. Hope I didn't sound too confusing... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
