Exhaust muffler hanger ripped

[go-to]

Anybody help find the proper pieces please?!

(1) busted hanger and (1) wrong hanger. The rubber hanger at the Y before the mufflers is ripped, and the hanger on the drivers' muffler is the wrong one and does not stay in place.

Go to RockAuto and look at the pictures.
For the rubber hangers, go back to a Gen1 - 1990 Taurus 3.0 DOHC\ Exhaust \ Hanger/Insulator and look at the 4 selections that are available.
As for the drivers muffler hanger, you can find a hoop type thing in the pictures for various Taurus cars that goes around the muffler and provides a mounting point, but I am not sure that is a SHO thing, as they have the mounting point built-in.

Thank you sir...I will look at those hangers.

(3) hangers are ripped and I've got part numbers. I wonder if the dealer has anything? hahaha

Man, I haven't had this much trouble finding a part in a long long time.

I realize all these parts are obsoleted from the factory, but you'd think there was at least something out there to compare and replace.

Got a handle on Walker branded replacement rubber pieces, but still missing one that is molded into a metal bracket...gonna have to get creative on that one!

Junkyard.

Should be able to cut the bracket open and slide on a universal rubber piece.

This idea almost ended in a bust, but came across rubber in good shape on the last Taurus I looked at.

Was able to walk away with (3) rubber hangers and that (1) that's attached to the bracket...all in decent enough shape to pay $11 for. :laugh_ti:

Good option since I have found Walker numbers matching the OEM rubber pretty closely.

Don't know how good they are but Auto Zone had some that seemed to look almost exactly like the ones on mine right now for something like $5.
