84 Voyager Struts

    I researched the source of a 500 Hz vibration at idle, mostly in the
    cab and I think I've located it as being the exhaust resonator
    touching the frame.

    The questions are:
    1. Will replacing the struts increase the clearance between the
    resonator and frame.
    2. Do the helical springs loose their springiness and collapse, making
    the repair above ineffective.
    3. How do I tell if struts are "leaking" – everything looks pretty
    oily

    Notes:
    1. I replaced the front motor mount which was chewed up.
    2. The other two motor mounts appear intact.
    3. Engine size = 2.6L

    Thanks for your help.

    Are you refering to the catylitic convertor hitting the k frame on accel?
    Causing this noise? And does it not do it in reverse?

    clean up the struts. Drive around for a while. Then check the strut
    again. If it is oil, it is probably leaking.
