On my 1971 142 E, the most effective way is to crawl under the car and inspect the bracket. If the bracket has cracked to the point that it is resulting in banging the crack should be visible; but grab the section of exhaust pipe just back from where it attaches to the down pipe and yank back and forth on it. If the bracket is cracked you should be able to see movement and hear the banging.
