Subject:
Muffler Assemblies, Tailpipes, Exhaust Tips Do Not Appear Centered in Rear Fascia Cut Outs (Install Retaining Fasteners and Washers)
Models:
2004-2007 Cadillac SRX, STS
Condition
Some customers may comment that the muffler assemblies, tailpipes or exhaust tips do not appear centered in the rear fascia cut outs.
Cause
The muffler hanger rod may move inside the rubber isolator mounts causing incorrect positioning of the exhaust pipes.
Correction
Install washers and retaining fasteners over the muffler hanger rods at the front and rear positions of the muffler assembly.
Raise and support the vehicle in order to gain access to the exhaust system hangers, the muffler assemblies and any exhaust rods that do have a retaining
fastener.
Remove the left retainer nut from the left front muffler hanger, if present.
Install the washer (1) and a new retainer fastener (2) to the left front muffler hanger, leaving a 5 mm (0.20 in) gap measured from the flat rod end to the
retainer.
