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 anytime all or part of the exhaust system is removed and/or
replaced. If the specifications measured on the vehicle are not consistent
with the Exhaust System Clearances, inspect for missing or faulty exhaust
pipe hanger insulators or a damaged catalytic converter support bracket near
the transmission . Check for underbody damage under the following conditions:
• | All the exhaust system supporting devices are in good condition. |
• | The exhaust system has no damage. |
