I finally got the car in the air to investigate an exhaust leak. Thank you for all of the lift advice, the QuickJack seems to be working great!
Looks like i am missing a bolt. Nothing to attach the nut to, so my question is what to do next? Looking at this picture, does this look like a broken part? perhaps there are threads in there? Assistance please. |

Looks like you have SSI heat exchangers, the ears are a weak area and a PO has cranked it down in a futile attempt to seal the leak and broke the bolt. The exhaust mount ears can bend and break, the sealing surface gets out of square, this has to be repaired.
You have to get the exhaust off to get a better look at the stud repair. Level of expertise and tools needed for the job, I do broken studs and it's one job I hate. |
