Sagaris Exhaust Rattle
Discussion
Hi!
I`ve had an annoying rattle from my exhaust thats got worse over the last week.
I had a look at the exhaust and it seems to be sitting on the bodywork. I tried to fix this by adjusting the thread screws at either side (and various tweaks of them) but I`m still left with a 'hollow' rattle inside (not really audiable outside) especially when I go over bumps or the car's RPM's drop below 600rpm (ie. driving off in 1st the odd time)
Is there any more adjustment screws under the car I need to play with? It means jacking up the car but I`d like to know if anyone has fixed this themselves.

I've just picked my T350 up from a service and it has to go back as one of the engine mounts is knackered. This will cause the noise you describe as the exhaust is obvioulsy also sitting lower and vibrating against the body but it could also be something simple like a loose clamp.

The cans should be rock solid on the back box; reach in with 10mm spanner to tighten.
The back box is hung in two places from the boot floor and should also be solid, but if the mounting cage just behind the diff breaks it allows the whole lot to be loose and dangle off the boot floor mounts.

Bugger.. I suspect its a trip to the local servicer to get this sorted, just wish I had a ramp to get the thing up onto and my hands dirty..
Get it round to Gregs and get it sorted. This racing green guy obviously knows how to sell them, but even Davys gear knob was loose from RG so I suspect they are in and out with a cursory glance.Get it round here one day if you want me to have a nosy with you - just changed the cans on mine so may be able to give guidance/ moral support.

Had this on my Sag. The exhaust was rettling against one of the strengthening bars across the chassis, just abov ethe Diff, It seamed to get worse as exhaust got host, think this was due to the exhuast expanding under heat. Managed to slacken clamps off and slide the whole exhaust forward and it cured it.

Had a simlair problem myself, I'd had some work done on the car. When I got it back the exhaust was banging around at the rear. closer inspection reveals that the brackets above the diff has not been refitted and is causing the problem. All the weight is on the rear box, rubbers and brackets.
It's going back!
It's going back!

KJ now at least knows what it was and can get it fixed under warranty. Point is why did it leave the dealers like this?

Thanks bobd - is it the metal bracket (no rubber) underneath the car or the ones that hold the back box up right at the back? Want to check mine is okay....
Its the bracket located around the diff area. Not the rear silencer bracket.I think it must be common as mine was replaced prior to purchase.
