25107, PIECES OF METAL FALLING OFF BOTTOM OF CAR :(
Posted by UofToledo, Jun-25-02 01:25 AM
The other day i was driving down the road and i heard this loud scraping sound, everyone walking down the street was staring at me and pointing, so i pulld over and looked and a piece of the exhaust almost like a protector was falling off, when i got home i jacked the car up and looked and it looks like another just like it but further back had falled off too, these are on both sides of that wicker looking thing, hopefully my picutres will work. also everytime i close the door or hit a bump i hear the remaining pieces rattle. so should i replace these, and if so where should i go to buy new ones?
Thanks a lot

What I think you're referring to is the heat shields. I wouldn't worry about replacing 'em that much.

yeah, I think they are heat shields, has anyone else had this happen?

Mine would rattle at certain RPM's so I just took it off.

mine are rattling right now. so if you take them off your floorboard dosen't get really hot or anything?
