Problem or technical question?

need better exhaust mounts for fiesta si

Postby Mav Singh on Thu Aug 16, 2018 7:52 pm

so iv had my exhaust mounts changed for the second time and looks like they are stretching out again and then the exhaust hits the subframe. these are the front exhaust mounts that hold the catalyst on.
does anyone know of any high quality ones? i think an oil leak from rocker cover gasket may have got oil on the rubbers and done the damage. got new gasket done but residual oil etc.

pic of the rubber:

need 2 of them for the fronts. can get from euro carparts for 45p each which i think may be part of the problem.
does anyone make silicone or ploy ones?
thanks

turns out that those powerflex ones are going to be way too wide.
this one here looks like it may do the job:

Poly ones are fitted now. Exhaust no longer sitting on the subframe. Will see how long they last.
