Exhaust rattle when idling

Post by cf100mk5 »

Had a very loud rattling noise coming from the exhaust system(roughly from mid to rear of van)when stopped in gear but it disappeared in neutral. Wasn't the exhaust shield or the catalytic converter. Replaced the two most rear rubber exhaust hangers and rattle is gone. Simple fix for anyone else with the same issue. Bought package of two hangars $4 on ebay free shipping from China(3 weeks).

I have a few sitting in a box waiting to swap out, nice to see an easy, cheap fix, crazy how the little things can cause issues.
