Loose exhaust?
Wife and I just purchased a used '04 Escape XLT - nice vehicle with only 9500 miles on it. CarFax report checked great.
I was behind the wife in our car while she drove the Escape home. Noticed the tailpipe was moving a little.
Got home and I crawled under the Escape and shook the tailpipe. The entire exhaust system has more play in it than anything I've seen, yet I did not notice any brackets or anything broken/missing anywhere. Is this normal? Looks like most of the system is supposedly held in place with some type of oval rubber hangers, although there is one steel welded hanger at the tailpipe. Was wondering if I should take it back to the dealer.
Thanks for any info.
