Car Forum / Volvo Cars / July 2005dangling muffler volvo 240
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 -- smarthu > The muffler/exhaust system on my '86 volvo 240 appears to have come > loose from its normal position - the tailpipe sticks too far out from [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > before i tried to bend the exhaust system up to the pin. any > help/guidance is much appreciated. Yeah you're on the right track, the pipe or muffler inlet probably bent slightly from it hanging like that. I usually lie on the ground and use my leg to wedge the muffler up and then hook the rubber mount on, I've had that same thing happen a couple times though usually it's the rubber that's broken. > > The muffler/exhaust system on my '86 volvo 240 appears to have come > > loose from its normal position - the tailpipe sticks too far out from [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > same thing happen a couple times though usually it's the rubber that's > broken. 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.  SignatureMike F.
