banging noise as in parts smacking into each other? doesn't sound good whatever it is... don't drive it til you can take it to J&r's..
was it making a noise when you first got it back?

Yeah man i would be parking it and towing it j&r tomorrow. Is it loud? you can get a screw driver and move it round from place to place with your ear on the end of it listening and you should be able to work out where its coming from. the screwdriver acts like those things that doctors use sorry cant remember name to hung ova.
