[jbaker1121]

its like a braided stainless steel line.....help?
wasnt like this till after springs/new wheels were put on.
its liek where the downpipe or whatever connects t the muffler part...its on the joint.

help!!!

looks to me like a ground wire that got cut... take it back to the guys and say 'what the eff?'
doesnt seem serious but i am NO expert

ps... car looks good...

 

[jbaker1121]

yea only problem= they are 45 min away and i whave work all week from 8-5 and no time to go to them untill sunday

thats exactly what i thought it was. would they really need to cut it to do what they did? can i just cut it off so it isnt ahanging, then ask them to replace it?

p.s. they inside of my new wheels are SO DAMN CLEAN!!!

 

[asherchy]

it prolly ripped from somewhere when they were switching the springs... hold the wire up inside the well and im sure youll find the other half of it still attached somewhere

you wouldnt even need to cut it... just remove that bolt and slide it off... prolly a 14mm bolt? but then again... with all that rust you might need a case of wd40 and a gorilla

Grounding wire, won't really hurt anything as it sits like that, but I can understand the frustration.

 

[jbaker1121]

okay, that's a relief. atleast its nothing too bad.....

houdl i get it replaced anyways? or is it no biggie?

p.s. yeah my underbelly is rusty as hell....stupid winter

 

[jbaker1121]

The wire is ground for you Exxhaust. Yet I don't understand how they would cut that by mistake... It's no where near the springs in the rear for it to cut accidently..

Some one must of been fooling arround and cut it...

Can you email the pictures to the shop in lieu of your visit?

Be happy you know what it is. At least it's not this:

My car's a girl . . . . She took it back in & stopped showing me the nitty gritty way back after I scolded her for it.

I noticed mine about a year ago my mechanic also told me that it is a ground wire.

 

[asherchy]

hmmm?
could it be a ground wire

Nah, I think that's the cable that connects to the muffler bearing. It should throw a code that you have a malfunctioning muffler bearing and you need to get a "round tuit" for fixing the damaged muffler bearing cable.

yeah, that may be funny, but today, I worked on a honda odessey, rear motor mount broken, but the strange thing? there are wires coming out of the motor mount?!?! turns out it's a $427 motor mount, it is controlled by the computer, something called i-vtec or something... just reminds me of this

 

[Frankiago]

Motor MOUNT that's electronically controlled? What the heck does it do when it 'actuates' ???

Is it touch-sensitive like the iPhone?
