2006 Cadillac DTS Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service and Repair the Exhaust Hanger and System Insulator on 2006 Cadillac DTS?

  A: A repair or servicing operation on the exhaust system insulator along with hanger and bracket demands that you first lift up and support the vehicle. Apply enough lubricant to the exhaust hanger rod before you remove the exhaust hanger to the rear suspension support bracket bolt. A pull operation on the exhaust hanger exposes it from the exhaust pipe hanger rod before the removal of the rear exhaust hanger to hanger bracket nut. Use lubricant on the rear hanger rod before drawing the rear exhaust hanger away from the tail pipe hanger rod. The rear hanger rod needs soapy solution treatment alongside the rear hanger's inner diameter to make installation easier before users should press the hanger over the tail pipe rod and gradually position it to its bracket. Mount the rear exhaust hanger onto the hanger bracket nut before tightening it to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.). The installation of the exhaust hanger requires applying soapy solution to the exhaust pipe hanger rod and center exhaust hanger's inner diameter before pressing it on the rod and fastening the hanger to the rear suspension support bracket bolt while torque it to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.). Finally, lower the vehicle.
