Pat R Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I have a 2011 Ford Edge without the factory tow package. I tow a tent trailer and had UHaul install a Curt Hitch. The problem is everytime I go over anykind of bump in the road the twin mufflers bounce off the top of the side of the hitch. The noise is incredibly irritating. There's about an 1/8 to a 1/4 inch clearance between the top of the muffler and the side of the hitch. I had UHaul look at it and they suggested the factory supports holding the back end of the exhaust could be bent down lowering the mufflers from the hitch. I looked at the rubber bushings which connect the support to the frame and a hanger for the exhaust. I'm wondering if there's a larger rubber bushing I can buy that will lower the muffler and where I can go to get one? Thanks, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat R Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 I was able to buy from autozone two new rubber hangers that dropped down the muffler and prevented it from hitting the new hitch installed. Just in case anyone else has this problem in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
