dangling muffler volvo 240

Jul 14, 2005 2 Replies

The muffler/exhaust system on my '86 volvo 240 appears to have com loose from its normal position - the tailpipe sticks too far out fro the back of the car, and if i tap it, it bounces up and down. i stuc my head beneath the back of the car to see what was up - i noticed tha there was a metal pin sticking out from underneath the car that i assum that the rubber contraption connected to the exhaust system with couple of holes in it is supposed to sit. i gently tried to stick th pin into the rubber contraption, but the exhaust system didnt seem t want to bend all the way up to the pin. i was afraid of pushing it to hard - so i wanted to check to make sure that i was on the right trac before i tried to bend the exhaust system up to the pin. an help/guidance is much appreciated

What ususally happens is one of the joints at the front muffler or catalytic convertor is a little loose. These can rotate when the rear muffler hangs down like that.
