Hi Bill,
You are right that various things could cause either the exhaust or
driveshaft to sag and interfere with one another, or even increase the
clearance between the two. On this car virtually every mount and
bushing, exhaust hangar, etc has been replaced fairly recently.
During the rebuild process the exhaust was off the car. I think it
wasn't aligned exactly right during the re-install. In hindsight,
there were occasional driveshaft clanging sounds when bouncing over
railroad tracks, etc, that were a clue that things weren't quite
right. I had hung the exhaust from the hangars and then bolted it to
the cat without paying much attention to whether the alignment could
be better.
