Rattle From Rear

[KayCee]

Came from dropping off Neibour i had window down and heard rattle from back I thought something serious but on inspection when i got home it was the rear silencer Heat shield hanging off

I helped it off and the holes have corroded bigger and was ready for falling off

The question will it be ok to run without it or do i need to replace it

TIA

Hi,

had the same problem. used big washers.

unscrewed the old retainers using pliers. they are made of
aluminium.

fiddly job - had jack up the car on a side i'm working on and
unhook the exhaust at the very back under bumper.

couple months ago i've done it. seems to be fine.

both sides fallen off on mine - so check.

regards,

Giedrius

I got local garage to put some large washers like you said and all done charged me 15 pound

I did price one up at Lexus £64 for a peice of bacofoil good god whats it coming to, how they could justify that is beyond me
