most likely the rear beam.....you just need to twist it usually (undo the middle box to tailpipe section and twist it so it clears the beam)

Check the rubbers and/or mounts holding up the mid box.

These are known to sag and break in time

Mine went 3 times before I changed them to Powerflex mounts.
