  A: Vehicle elevation and support system installation should happen before removing the exhaust hanger.

You must first loosen the outboard rear bumper impact bar bolt before you can remove the inboard rear bumper impact bar bolt and the exhaust muffler rear hanger bracket. The first step for installation is to install the exhaust muffler rear hanger bracket where attention must be paid to the Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. Afterward install the inboard rear bumper impact bar bolt before tightening all rear bumper impact bar bolts to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). The installation process starts with affixing exhaust pipe rear hanger insulators to exhaust muffler rear hanger bracket. Then place the exhaust muffler rear hanger bracket. Determine the inboard rear bumper impact bar bolt before winding all rear bumper impact bar bolts to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). The last step involves installation of exhaust pipe rear hanger insulators to the exhaust muffler rear hanger bracket while uninstalling the exhaust system support to check for underbody contact and leaks at the end of the process.
