muffler bushing ???

[SpOOnEPhAtChDC5]

Has anyone had a squeeking problem by the rear passenger side ... it sounds like its my springs or shocks but when I took it for an oil change they told me that I should replace the rear muffler bushing. I recently installed a HKS catback and it only squeeks when it is warmed up and going over large bumps.

You can find the Muffler Bushings right next to the Horn and Blinker Fluid.

Consult your nearest pep boys sales consultant for all the above mentioned products.

pick up a flux capacitator while you're at it if they're on sale. youll need it eventually.

I think he is refering to the rubber "BUSHINGS" that the muffler hangers are attached to. But I don't belive that the would cause that much squeeking.

useless trivia the Mitsu 3000Gt's actually had a muffler bearing as there was a switch from the cabin to adjust the exhaust note/noise. there was a little servo in the tailpipe to adj. backpressure basically

i agree...but i think the squeeking could be coming from them tho (especially if they were lubed to be put back into place...

I agree Lubed the bushing and put them back into place. It cant hurt and it is super easy to do.

I did not have this problem though I did go back and make sure the rubber was on the hangers all the way back. So check them agian :)

I'll try to lube them before I decide to replace them at least someone knows what they 'er talking about...

[serialdriller]

make sure the muffler isnt banging like the sway bar or some other part of the car. That happens because the exhaust can wobble around

Yeah that sucka will move, sometimes it does knock when I turn the ride off. But no all the time so it is ok.

Yeah, check them out and make sure they are pushed all the way back. And I doubt you will have to replace the rubber hangers :)
