Me again!!

Sorry, I know I'm a pain!

OK, On one of the taxis that I have, whenever I put the car into reverse, the engine lifts up slighlty and the air filter housing starts banging into the bulk head causing an almighty rattling noise.

Any ideas how I can solve this other than trying to wedge something between the top of the air filter housing and bulk head??

Regards

Hi all

An update!

I had the steering box reconditioned and for some strange reason the car seems to vibrate less and the air filter doesn't seem to bang against the bulk head anymore.
