athens7 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Less than 1 week old, and I've destroyed both exaust mount rubber bushings. The design is horrible; soft rubber with nothing inside to keep it from separating. My mechanics solution was to craft new rubber mounts from hole sawed round sections of a Z rated tire sidewall (about 3 stacked, with 1 more on each outer side of the bracket), with a fender bolt and washer running through the whole shooting match. I get a tiny bit more vibration, but a nice stable exhaust that is no longer hitting the side of the car, or vibrating against the frame at the rear suspension (I thought my roll bar had a rattle in it!). What other solutions have members created for this problem? I'm sure someone has come up with a better idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHKflyer52 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I have a very similar setup that your mechanic has suggested and it works great. Used an old go-cart tire to make the rubber washers. Sounds like you have a good mechanic who just dose not change parts so use his idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
