Hey guys, IÆve been away for a while, just too busy with work, life, and the girl friend.

Anyway hopefully this is a simple question to answer. I did some poking around on the web and ordered a couple parts from Napa that I will find out in a few days if they will workà..

On my æ99XJ 4.0L, when I arrive at work yesterday I heard a funny rattle, so I look under the jeep and see my entire exhaust system hanging lower than it should, so I crawl under, and see all 3 exhaust hangers have rusted off (gotta love the north east), the exhaust system is still in decent shape though. I used some mechanics wire to band aide the system back up off the cross member and rear axle for now. I purchased the aft most mount that bolts to the unibody and uses a muffler clamp to attach to the pipe yesterday, but the other 2 hangers were pieces of bent rod that were welded to the exhaust pipe. Napa had a few different hangers in the book that looked similar to the bent rod hangers, and used a muffler clamp to attach around the tube, so they could be just bolted on anywhere along the pipe. But like I said initially, I wonÆt have the parts in hand for a few days yet. Assuming I canÆt make these work, and knowing I donÆt have a welder yet, has anyone run into this before, and does anyone know of bolt on type clamps that will use the factory hanger locations that may extend the life of my exhaust system a little longer. I would love just put on a new exhaust system and be done with it, but the rust is taking its toll in other places as well, and I am starting to wonder how many more years until something bad happens.

Thanks in advance,

Sean
