SUPERPRO, MCA, POLYAIR, RIVAL, FOX Exhaust Bushes

Exhaust bushes, also called exhaust mounts or exhaust rubbers, help hold your exhaust system in place underneath your vehicle. They support the exhaust while allowing it to move slightly with the engine. When they wear out, the exhaust can sag, rattle or knock against the underbody. Fulcrum's range includes polyurethane exhaust mount bush kits for selected vehicles, so you can replace worn mounts and keep your exhaust properly supported.

What Do Exhaust Mounts Do?

Your exhaust system runs from the engine to the tailpipe along the underside of the vehicle. Because it's long and heavy, it needs to be supported at several points along its length.

Exhaust mounts do this job. They:

• Support the weight of the exhaust system
• Hold the exhaust in position under the vehicle
• Allow some movement, so the exhaust can move with the engine instead of being held rigidly
• Help isolate vibration between the exhaust and the body

Because exhaust mounts are flexible rather than solid, they help stop vibration from the exhaust being passed directly into the vehicle.

How Exhaust Hangers and Mounts Work Together

On many vehicles, the exhaust is held up by a combination of metal hangers and flexible mounts. Exhaust hangers are usually metal rods or brackets fixed to the exhaust and to the vehicle's body or chassis. The exhaust hanger rubber or bush sits between them and provides the flexible connection.

When people talk about replacing exhaust rubbers or exhaust hanger rubbers, they usually mean replacing these flexible mounts rather than the metal hangers themselves. Fulcrum's exhaust mount bush kits replace the bushes in the mount, not the hangers or brackets.

Signs Your Exhaust Mounts Need Replacing

Exhaust mounts sit close to hot exhaust components and are exposed to road grime, water and constant movement. Over time, they can wear, crack or break. You may need new exhaust mount bushes if:

• The exhaust sits lower than usual or appears to sag
• You hear an exhaust rattle or knocking from underneath the vehicle, especially over bumps or when starting the engine
• The exhaust contacts the underbody or heat shields
• The mounts are cracked, perished, stretched or missing

If your exhaust is noisy, damaged or leaking, have it inspected to find the cause. Worn mounts are one possible reason, but not the only one.

Choosing the Right Exhaust Mount Bushes

Exhaust mount bushes are designed to suit particular vehicles, so choosing the right one starts with your make and model. Before you buy, check:

• Vehicle fitment: use the vehicle search to find exhaust mount bushes that suit your make, model and year.
• Fitting position: check the product listing to confirm where on the vehicle the bushes are designed to be fitted.
• Quantity: check how many bushes are included, so you have enough to replace all the worn mounts on your vehicle.
• Your exhaust setup: if your vehicle has an aftermarket exhaust, confirm the mounts suit your system.

Full fitment details, specifications and inclusions are listed on each product page. If you can't find exhaust mount bushes for your vehicle, or you're unsure which ones you need, Fulcrum's team can help.

Fitting Exhaust Mount Bushes

Exhaust mounts are located underneath the vehicle near hot exhaust components. Always let the exhaust cool completely before working on it, and make sure the vehicle is safely supported.

If you're not confident fitting exhaust mount bushes yourself, have them fitted by a qualified technician. With Fulcrum's Click & Fit service, you can buy your parts online and have them delivered to your nearest Fulcrum workshop for installation.
