I have a 92 Lexus LS 400. One of the mufflers is hanging down and it looks like there are these rubber donut looking items that hold it up. I was wondering what the correct name of the part is so that I can order it from the dealer.

any help would be appreciated.

May want to consider nylon zip ties--they work fine---strong and flexible.

Actually I was going that as you wrote this. :lol:

They said the part is $31.54 plus tax...for a rubber ring...ridiculous... :censored:

Anyway, one of my twin exhausts is fine, so I guess I only need just one of those rings for the one that is dangling right?

Well, after this part here, I doubt that I will ever be a Lexus owner again. Too darn expensive when compared to my genuine Honda parts. lol

the rubber hanger attaches the mufflers hanger to the point on the cars hanger. is one of the 2 holes ripped.
most exhuast shops will do it for $ 10-15 if it only needs a bushing for the hanger or to rewled a hanger.

Well, it's not that it need welding. It's actually missing the rubber ring. I looked at the other which is fine and determined this was the case.

Perhaps I could buy it from a garage that does muffler work...

if both metal hangers are still in place then that is all you need.
