This vehicle uses primarily rubber exhaust pipe hanger
insulators to mount the exhaust system to the underbody at fixed points. Refer
to
Exhaust System Clearances
if exhaust system noises and/or
vibrations are present. Check the exhaust system clearance specifications
anytime all or part of the exhaust system is removed and/or replaced. Check
for missing or damaged exhaust pipe hanger insulators and/or check for a damaged
catalytic converter support bracket near the transmission if the specifications
measured on the vehicle are not consistent with the Exhaust System Clearances.
Check for underbody damage under the following conditions:
• | All the exhaust system supporting devices are in good condition. |
• | The exhaust system has no damage. |
