My friend has an '87 XJ, and his exhaust system (mainly the cat) hits the tub because it rattles so damn much. There is a bushing where part of the exhaust tubing goes through. It looks like its old/worn away, and wondering if anyone makes a replacement or have any ideas to fix this permanently. I was thinking maybe putting a shim under the tubing or something of the sort, but it won't fix it permanently. Anyone else have this problem?
Goto the parts store and tell them you want a rubber exhaust pipe bushing, better yet ask them for a polyurethane one- which will give you an extra 10-5 more horsepower. Ignore the smoke it's just "breaking in".
if you want an auxiliary asshole torn, then this is the place to recieve it.
have a good day
oh, and by the way, how does someone making fun of you suddenly change their sexual orientation? I don't quite understand how that works, can you enlighten me? :flipoff2:
humm, its hostile in here. Also, while your at the parts store, ask for a can of compression. Once the 4.0s get over 3 years old, they need some compression added to it.
Remove the cat and add a straight pipe. Or if you want to help the environment :zzz: tack weld the edges of the cat's heat shield to stop the rattle. If the cat is hitting the floor I'd say that "bushing" you are talking about is fine, unless you are hittinf bumps and the whole fucking exhaust is bouncing. The stock brackets on the XJ and YJ are horrible and crack in half leaving your cat to crumble. Weld a new mount to the frame and make a hanger with a poly or rubber section between the exhaust and frame, unless you want it to feel liek you ahve a vibrator up your ass. thats your question to answer :rainbow:
