Do you still get a knocking on the rear beam caused by the anti-roll bar?
I get less knocking since swapping the Cav one a few months ago, however it still knocks a bit.
Wondering whether I should tighten it up more? But I dont want to over tighten it.

Yeah, I wouldnt have thought this one would knock given its proper mounting.
Neh, deffo not the exhaust as that was adjusted with tons of clearance for everything.

It is as people say really; hard to tell a difference. Although Id say if I've noticed any difference, its certainly a positive one.

Maybe I'm just not doing it up tight enough?
I think I'm scared of damaging the rubber bushes?
How tight have others done theirs? Very?

Mine never knocked on the corsa and the current one on the Astra don't either.
Sounds like its either not tightened up enough or the knocking is coming from somewhere else.

It wouldn't knock even if it wasn't very tight, I say knock is coming from somewhere else

Doubt you'll damage the rubber bushes with tightening the u bolts. Likely to strip the threads before damaging the rubber
