Torque: 31 Nm (23 ft.lbs.)
5.
Check the entire exhaust system for alignment and leaks. The muffler hanger strap must be free to move in the muffler hanger bracket or vibrations
will be transmitted from the exhaust system into the body. The muffler can be moved both vertically and horizontally in the muffler hanger
bracket. The muffler should move a minimum of 1.59 mm. (1/16 in.) vertically and 3.18 mm. (1/8 in.) horizontally (side-to-side) in the muffler
hanger bracket.
IMPORTANT:
If sufficient muffler movement cannot be obtained, or if the muffler hanger bracket is damaged, the exhaust system will have to be carefully lowered
for adjustment or replacement of the muffler hanger bracket. Washers may have been installed between the exhaust muffler hanger bracket and the
frame rail to align the hanger parallel with the muffler.
