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. |
