The exhaust system may be hot. Allow to cool down before inspection/repairs.
NOTE:
Exhaust system parts do not need to be removed for this inspection/repair.
1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
2. Inspect the heat shields on the front exhaust tube for the following:
^ Heat shield contact with the exhaust tube.
^ Separated/missing band clamp(s).
^ Missing "stand-off" (see Figure 4).
3. If a heat shield is found contacting the exhaust tube, pry it away to allow a minimum 1 mm (.040 inch) space.
^ Road test the vehicle to verify the repair.
4. If a band clamp is separated or missing, install new band clamps as needed.
