Tail pipe hanger 850

I just looked under the rear of the 854GLT and no surprise, the metal rod that is welded to the exhaust pipe and attaches to the rubber hanger is getting a bit thin. I am afraid the salt did it and now it could break and let the tail pipe drag on the ground.

Is there an after market clamp and bracket for the rear of the tail pipe? All I could find online is for the front of the tailpipe (muffler) which has two hanger arms. This one I need only has one.

I am afraid coat hanger wire would only last a few weeks :>)

    Klaus,

    I had the same problem with one of my ’96 850 wagons. I purchased a tail pipe hanger from iPd. I think it cost $20. It was very well made and out lasted the muffler. In fact, when the muffler finally failed, I saved the tail pipe hanger for “future use” because with two ’96 850 wagons and ’99 XC, someday I’m almost guaranteed to use it again.

    Huugh

      The above is a ripoff $20, and I am not sure if it will work or not. It says muffler bracket and not tail pipe bracket.

    Seems to me that there is a repair kit for this-- not sure where I saw it-- FCPgroton.com perhaps...

    Get some smooth 3/8" rod at the hardware store. Bend it to fit. Weld the newly bent rod to the remains of the of the original hanger. This is much easier if you have a lift and a welder...

    Check the hanger for the exhaust pipe while you are under there. Both have gone bad on our V70. It seems very odd that the hangers would fail before the original exhaust system. If you can get it to hang together for a month, I should have the Satoh back together and out of my garage.

      I was hoping for a quick, cheap repair. Yours sounds real good, and cheap. Thank you.
      I could also get an aluminum rod, bend it properly, and just clamp it to the tail pipe. This would not be a permanent 'fix'. I had thought about replacing the entire muffler, but someone welded the muffler pipe to the cat and really screwed it up.

      But, I just showed the car to its previous owner. She wants to buy it back. I don't blame her, it looks that much better than when she sold it to me. Of course, there are about $1200 in parts that I put on. Not counting a few hours of labor, and the days spent removing tar and rubbing compound to remove the small scratches.

        "but someone welded the muffler pipe to the cat" Ugh. What could they have been thinking ?

          The same thoughtless process that led them to weld on the tail pipe tip, which is now getting rusty.

          This car spent 150K miles in Illinois, getting salt baths for 15 years. I am going to order a cheap hanger from eeuroparts, free shipping of course. Then I am going to saw off the rusty hanger from the pipe, one arm is ready to let go and I can't sell the car that way to someone who knows nothing about cars.

          Thanks for the 'lift' offer!!

            I'd guess the muffler pipe to the cat was because the joint rusted through. Pretty common failure.
            The square tip welded to the pipe may have been factory. Mine was like that and I'm pretty sure the car never had any exhaust work before I got it.
