Default banging after rearend install

Just installed my new 12 bolt and i have a banging from ther rear when i go over bumps! everything is tight i checked it. is it possible to have a spring in the wrong position that could cause that?

Like you said make sure everyting is tight. I had the same problem and one of the long bolts that holds the sway bar to the mounting points on the body was bad and was allowing it to bang around. Also if you put in tougher suspension like LCA's and TA it will transfer more road noise into the car.

Exhaust arch is pretty close to the stock rear when the
rear bounces, might bang with any larger axle tube etc.
Might jack the right side wheel and see what gets close?

ok guys i figured it out. my rear sway bar was hittin the rearend. so i fabbed up some spacers to slide between the muffler clamps and the sway bar mounts and that cured the niose plus the car handles alittle better
