when driving my 325 normally over bumps ect there is no knocking or noise but sometimes when i get the wheels spinning theres a loud bangin noise coming from the back end.
thought it was the exhaust at first so go it looked at and my mate says its fine.
felt like it could be the probs hitting the floor but dont know if that would be possible,
got me stumped.
