The flange stud and nut hold the mating surfaces of an exhaust connection together. Signs this hardware may need replacing include a ticking or puffing exhaust noise near the flange, a loose or rattling joint, or a stud that is broken, missing or has damaged threads. Because an exhaust leak can have other causes, such as a failed gasket or cracked pipe, diagnose the source before replacing parts. If the stud and nut are the cause, this kit replaces them. Follow the vehicle service information for the removal procedure, torque values and whether any related gaskets or fasteners should be replaced.
