Exhaust banging against anti roll bar
1 Attachment(s)
My exhaust is banging against something in certain situations. I’ve attached a photo of the rear anti roll bar close to the exhaust where I think the issue is. The exhaust came on the car, and may just be a cheap badly fitting exhaust. What I wanted to ask was:
Has anybody had a similar issue, if so how did you resolve it? It seems like a lump of rubber between the two would cure the problem, has anyone bodged anything this way before? It’s an MGZTT CDTi by the way, MK1 2003 https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...db4947c469.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Similar but not the anti-roll bar, and I think rubber would quickly melt.
My exhaust was knocking on the cross member due to tired rubber hangers. Solution was to undo the clamp to the rear silencer, new hangers, a block of 1" thick wood placed on top of the cross member and then re-tighten. It's now become my routine when helping local members change the rear silencer to always have a block of wood there before tightening the clamp. Regards |

Never tried the block of wood but it sounds like a good idea ! |

Could I just check Mike, would the wooden piece be sandwiched between the cross member and the back box? Probably stating the obvious, but thought it worth a check… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
On the rearmost crossmember, with the central section of the exhaust above it. Hope it makes sense now?

I’ll take a look tomorrow, thanks for your help

Open the double clamp it the photo and re-adjust the back box section so it does not connect with the rear anti roll bar, that is your best solution. |
Thanks everyone. A bit of twisting and turning sorted it.
