Exhaust Hanger (Exhaust Mount)
Exhaust hangers are rubber mounts that hold the exhaust system under the car while allowing it to move slightly.
What is Exhaust Hanger (Exhaust Mount)?
They absorb vibration from the engine. Worn hangers let the exhaust sag or knock. They are inexpensive to replace. Hangers are made of heat-resistant rubber, but they still age and crack. Replacing all of them at once keeps the exhaust aligned correctly.
How it works
Metal rods on the exhaust fit into rubber rings attached to the body.
Why it matters for your car
A broken hanger puts strain on other joints and can crack the exhaust. Check hangers when the exhaust knocks over bumps.
