Do you have a photo of what that should look like and a part number for the clamp? I had some wicked metal-on-metal rattle down there and I think the guy took that off to fix it. I thought it was some sort of shield around the driveshaft, but I had never been under the Volvo at that time. No idea.

The fix the Volvo Indy guy did (removal of something) he said would not harm the car at all and would make it a lot more pleasant to drive without the machine gun sounds when I gave it gas. It was years ago (like a decade) and this probably was his solution because I could not afford anything better.

I do not know what he did, but I am assuming that this was it.

Any harm in leaving it this way? I would rather have my car properly buttoned up, you know...

Also, does this hanger look to be bent or are the pipes shifted out of position?

Thanks for your time!
