Rattle in muffler

[lshobie]

Hi Guys,

This is going to sound wierd, but I have a rattle inside the actual muffler on my hzj73 - I guess it is a loose baffle. This muffler is near new and would be a shame to toss it for a new one - any ideas how to stop the rattle?

clearly the bearings are shot....

but seriously- maybe it is just a support? Check them to see if one is gone.
