1 Final drive crossmember
2 Handcuff clamp
3 Absorber spring and cushion
Exhaust pipes and silencers
- To inspect
Inspection should include an investigation to
ensure that misalignment has not caused the
exhaust system to bear on sub-frame, suspension,
body, transmission or engine components, with
resultant damage to any of these parts.
Individual exhaust components should be
inspected at the flared ends of the pipes and for
'crimping' around the stub end pipes of some
silencers.
Clamps should be checked to ascertain the
freedom of all threads. Inspect each resilient metal
mount assembly to ensure the spring mounts are
working efficiently with the fixing brackets rigidly
attached to the underbody.
