Title: exaust rubbers
Post by: freeman123 on 25 February 2016, 21:07:02

hi,

next job on my list how many rubbers do I need to replace all on my exhaust system and are they all the same on a 2.2. 2003.  ;)

If they are genuine GM ones and aren't cracked don't replace them! Most of the aftermarket ones last about a year before starting to crack.

Assuming it's similar to the V6 but with only one mid box (not 2) then you'll need 6 - 2 for the mid box and 4 for the back box.  You'll also need some of the pesky metal clips that stop the rubbers sliding off - they rust in a few years and snap/crumble when you try to remove them.

I've got some good used mounts here if you are in need but I don't think they're expensive from VX.

When I did my 2.5 estate after repunzel's hair blew out I changed to the ebay blue HD rubbers on the backbox, needed 4 of them they were the hardest things ever to put on

I cant imagine what poly mounts would be like to put on
