D Check rubber mountings for damage, deterioration, and out of
position.
D Check exhaust system for leakage, loose connection, dent and
damage.
If bolts or nuts are loosened, tighten them to specified torque.

part, open seam, hole connection or any other defect which could
permit exhaust fumes to seep into vehicle.
