    Looking for some guidance in replacing this steel clamp which came off my 2014 Tacoma double cab 4x4. It came loose but was still attached to exhaust, was located approx under position of driver seat, caused a rattle while idling and was removed. The bolt rusted out, the exhaust does not seem loose but I am thinking that the clamp should still be replaced. Any advice would be appreciated!

    Guessing that is a catalytic converter heat shield clamp, not really a sturdy clamp.

    That’s what I would guess as one of the bolts on mine corroded. I used metal stainless steel zip ties to secure the cat shield instead.

    Thanks for the help!

    It sounds like this part and the catalytic converter heat shield are not all that important to have replaced.
