I have a 95 chevy suburban. The exhuast pipe was loose and hitting the frame of my truck. All my exhaust rubber hangers were replaced with the same problem happening. It would hit just behind the passengerside front tire. I took it to a muffler shop and the guy there said exhaust system was fine, but that it looked like it was loose up there by the turbo. He said take it to a mechanic. I took it to another muffler shop and same thing, they won't touch it. Finnaly 3rd shop I went to the guy put an additional hanger to keep it from hitting the frame. But now I can hear it rattle up by the turbo. I called local autoparts to see if they had a flange for it, and no part listed. Does anyone have any idea what it could be? anyone had this problem before?

Hi Steve, you probably need to replace the clamp that holds the pipe to the turbo.
