pics of stock axel-back clearance? Knocking

I have this intermitent metalic noise in the rear when I hit large bumps.

My previous car had this same isssue but was because of the live axel touching the exhaust pipping on an aftermarket full exhaust.

I looked under the car and to my surprise it looks like there is very little clearance on the stock axel back. I don't think I will have time to investigat etill mid next week at a dealership.

Does anyone else have this knocking issue? Does anyoen have pics of their car and pipe clearance?

Not on the stock exhaust but I've had to make a couple minor adjustments to the AA Exhaust to eliminate the knock since there is very little clearance in that area.
