My exhaust is rattling on my trailer hitch - how do I fix this?
If you have confirmed that this is the correct trailer hitch for your vehicle and followed all installation steps (such as lowering the exhaust if necessary) then there are a few solutions to this problem:
- Bend the exhaust hanger at various points to raise or lower the exhaust. This will move it away from the hitch.
- Unbolt and reposition the bolt on hanger.
- Replace the rubber isolator as the weight of the exhaust may stretch this connector, causing the exhaust to hang lower.
- Take your vehicle to a professional installer to inspect that the trailer hitch installation was done correctly.
If you are still experiencing rattling after trying all 4 of these options, we suggest contacting the manfucturer with your vehicle's VIN number and trailer hitch part number for further assistance.
