Function
The rear exhaust mounting has two functions; to support the rear section of the exhaust system and supress noise, vibration and harshness characteristics from entering the passenger compartment.
Cause of failure
The mounts are subject to constant hot and cold heat cycles of the exhaust system, as well as exposure to the elements and road debris.
As a result, the two rubber mountings supporting the rear silencer can crack and tear - eventually leading to the failure of the exhaust mounting.
This will be heard inside the vehicle as a knocking or thumping sound coming from the rear of the vehicle, especially when travelling over uneven road surfaces.
febi replacement part 182931 is produced using a higher grade of rubber than the original exhaust mount – providing an improvement to its service life.
