My son's '86 has rather loud resonance that is coming off the exhaust system when the car is stopped in "drive" or "reverse". I noticed today that if I pry down on any portion of the exhaust from the front to the rear the noise stops. I have temporarily placed a small block of wood between the pipe and the body and this has stopped the vibration. All of the rubber mounts seem to be in place and the exhaust system seems to be intact. I have heard this same noise coming from several other 240s in parking lots and so this must be a typical bit of Brick character...however I am looking for a more permanent fix. Any suggestions as to what is at fault and how to fix would be appreciated.
Thanks to all in advance,
Cliff
