8613, exhaust rattling
Posted by EvMan2345, Oct-12-01 02:17 AM
I took a turn too fast last night and there was roadwork done on the road so it was full of pebbles etc... so i skid out and ended up in someones front yard- now my exhaust is rattling when i first start the car, and between 1500-3000 RPM's- any ideas?

1 of your rubber exhaust hangers may have broken. Jack up the car and grab the exhaust pipe and shake it. Look to see where the most movement is and look for the broken hanger.

Its coming from the center of the car- like where the center compartment is between the seats- thats where its rattling- is there a hanger there for the piping?

Don't think so... but there is heat shielding you may have knocked loose.

"The fastest draw is when the sword never leaves the scabbard,
The strongest way to block, is never to provoke a blow,
And the cleanest cut is the one withheld."
