Exhaust Fitting

**Posted:** Sun Oct 02, 2005 4:34 pm

Hi,

Earlier some kind bloke following me pointed out that my exhaust was hanging loose on the passenger side. I've had a look underneath and the exhaust appears to have a 'peg' that sticks out of it and this kind of matches a moveable rubber block that's fitted to the underneath of the car. The rubber block has a hole through it that I assume the 'peg' on the exhaust slides into (it's a tight fit but it will go) is this correct? The only other option I thought of is that a bracket fits into the rubber block and then onto the 'peg' on the exhaust.

Can anyone give me a definative answer? I can take some pics of it if that helps. Oh and it's for the 2ltr V6 if that makes a difference.

Cheers,

IanF

all you need to do is put the peg through the hole in the rubber, mines comes loose and drops down now and again too, make sure it goes right the way through otherwise itl come off again.

Thanks for the info. Do you have any tips for reinserting the peg? I've managed to get it about half-way but it won't budge any further. I'm reluctant to use any kind of lubricant in case it helps it slip back out or perishes the rubber? Also I've not wanted to hit it with anything in case I damage it.

Cheers,

Then try their lead mate, finger a smearing of KY on the end of your peg prior to a desent thrust. As stated above - make sure its all the way in too.
KY being ideal as its water based so wont damage the rubber (recommended by S&M folk.....apparently).

this happened to me but the peg had rusted away to nothing...

mill tyres built a clamp and welded it for £10!

Are they affiliated with K&N

Anyway, I opted for a quick spray of WD40 and that seems to have done the trick.

We used to have some grease at work that said on the side:
"Gritted to avoid improper use."

Make of that what you will
