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. |
