How to service the muffler on a 3.8L engine on 2002 Ford Mustang?

The first step to maintain a 3.8L muffler requires safely supporting the elevated vehicle. The service requires a proper jack to stabilize the rear axle before you remove the upper arm-to-differential bolt. You must disconnect the rear shock absorbers from the axle housing by taking out the nut and bolt then discarding this nut. Start with lowering the rear axle before removing the dual converter assembly flange nuts. The exhaust pipe assembly should be detached from the rear exhaust hanger insulator then exhaust hanger insulators and the muffler need to be removed. Using oil or grease-based lubricants should be avoided because they will deteriorate rubber components of the insulators. Installation of exhaust hanger insulators becomes simpler by using a mixture of soap with water. The end of the installation process involves following the steps used to remove the components backward.
