I have never noticed it before, it looks like it is supposed to be there because it is pretty solid, no movement. What is it? https://photos.app.goo.gl/DzcyY6gAWJBSFDELA https://photos.app.goo.gl/HcWU8ry743fv3JSG9 Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Sep 29, 2018, 3:23 PM Post #2 of 5 (1129 views) Re: Strange hanging thing towncar 2009 Sign In That looks like a harmonics damper but it definitely shouldn't be pointing down. Something is coming apart there. I suggest to get it to an exhaust specialty shop and they will be able to resolve whatever it needs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

There are two look and see the other in place should be there are asymmetrically opposite one hole to bolt thru and one slot to slide. Just don't dump those too many people (techs) wont fuss with them but there for a reason so put it back it might swing now don't hit anything with it. Not really hard to fix surprised as it's a tad early to have been taken apart for exhaust work even at about 10 years, T Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Sep 29, 2018, 3:43 PM Post #4 of 5 (1123 views) Re: Strange hanging thing towncar 2009 Sign In I'm suspecting there will be more issues with that exhaust than just the damper. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Exhaust shop a good idea new gaskets probably? By rights should be making noise now as in leaking it's loose to do that. Not sure but may need to take down or move "H" pipe to do a starter motor on this? Long time just forget I always put those back on just because they did come with them new, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
