What's involved
What this repair actually is.
Rubber exhaust hangers suspend the entire exhaust system under the car, and when they crack or tear the pipes sag and clunk against the floor over bumps. We replace the failed hangers and check the rest, since when one rubber mount fails from age the others are usually close behind.
Symptoms
How you can tell.
- Clunking under the car over bumps
- Exhaust visibly sagging or hanging low
- Tailpipe knocking against the bumper
- Rattling that changes when the car rocks
If you delay
A sagging exhaust stresses other joints until pipes crack, and a fully dropped exhaust can drag on the road.
