Raise the vehicle on a hoist. Apply the parking brake and start the engine. Place the shift lever in the Reverse position. Check to see if the noise is coming from the front exhaust muffler.

Use a screwdriver to press against either of the two locations shown in Figures 1 and 2. If the noise is reduced or stops, replace the front muffler.
