There's a metal bracket (held in place by a couple bolts) that holds what appears to be a oval shaped rubber bushing that supports the exhaust on the rear right of my 98Z (the exhaust has a metal tongue that goes into the center of the bushing for support). This bushing is deteriorating and my car sounds like a bag of cans going over bumps which tells me my exhaust is bouncing around.

Anyone know the name for this part?

 

Its an exhaust hanger. Just tell them you need the rubber bushing for it. A parts store or exhaust shop should be able to hook you up.

Spray WD40/PB oil or the like on the new one for easy installation, or even the old one to pull it off.

 

Thanks!

 

Every parts store I went to did not have the part. Any good online places?

The 'exhaust hanger' I'm looking for is the rear right, not the one that hangs freely, but the bushing that is held in place by a bracket that supports a 'tongue' coming from the exhaust.

 

If it's a GM part there's probably a part# imprinted on it that would help if you wanted to order it from a dealer. I might be able to give you a part#, but I don't know exactly what you're referring to. A pic would help a lot here

 

See the rubber bushing right below the word 'flange' in the huge picture? That's what I'm looking for. I'm not much of a car person so maybe it has nothing to do with the exhaust... I just saw it there and thought that the 'tongue' moved when I shook the exhaust.

 

Yep, it's the exhaust hanger. I looked through my Camaro parts list and I still couldn't find a part#. If you can't find a part# on the hanger itself I'd just go to the GM dealer and have them look it up, it can't be more than a few dollars.

 

a parts store might not have it but an exhaust shop probably will
