i have been fighting and exhaust rattle on my 88 16v for quite some time =
now.  what's happening isunder acceleration in first and second, the =
exhauset is rattling like crazy on the front swaybar.  to date i have =
done an OE spec pass side mount, napa quality rear tranny mount, and a =
HD front mount. i have noticed that the rear mount is twisted a little =
when it is tightened up.  i'm not positive if the frame is straight, as =
the car has been totalled before.  my dad and i thought that he got it =
within spec, so is there a good amount of adjustment in the side mounts? =
=20

also, i was wondering if the stock 16v front swaybar is supposed to be =
bent down in hte middle?  i don't thing i've bent it with the exhaust, =
but i could be wrong.  i would havew thought that the down pipe would =
have crushed before it bent the swaybar.
thanks guys
