The resilient metal exhaust mounts must be
set approximately
6,35 mm. (0.250 in.) forward
before tightening the
'U' clamp around the exhaust
pipe. This offset is to allow for thermal expansion
of the system
(see Fig. Q10).
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.
