I have a 93 civic ex and i just installed eibach sportline springs and pro damper shocks. After installing them i started hearing a knocking in the rear end. I realized it was my exhaust hitting the rear lca and hitting the bumper because i can see the marks in the bottom of the exhaust.

Any suggestions on how to fix this if it could just be worn exhaust hangers? I dont know if theyve been replaced before.

 

Yea I'd start by trying new exhaust hangers. If that doesn't fix it you might have to go get it rewelded to where it won't hit. What kind of exhaust do you have?

 

Pacesetter Monza 2.25in Cat-back.

 

Get some rubber spacers as a temp fix, butt that crap right up to the exhaust tip and call it a night, otherwise re-weld and replace hangars.

 

Won't the heat from the tip start to burn the rubber??

 

My buddys civi did this. We just stuck a mallet hammer head in and tied it and its good. Yea its ghetto but it works. Best thing to do tho is reinforce it and yea his bumper where it touched is black now and kinda melted.... He doesnt care as long as it doest keep doin it lol

 

I looked at it a little more and its actually hitting the rear lca I'm thinking of just sticking something on the lca so its not hitting metal atleast. Anybody got any ideas of what I should stick there?

 

Like i said i put a hammer head in and tied it with wire

 

Yea, a re-weld

dont ghetto rig it. do it right.
drive to a muffler shop and have them fix it the right way.

 

Went the easy route. Went to lowe's picked up a welding pad good up to 2100F wrapped it around the lca, no more knock......
