Im also ordering some exhaust rubber mounts/hangers as both my n/s rear exhaust mounts have broke (done a tempory repair to last me a week), ive heard to replace them you need to take the back bumper off, is this true? Looks like it could be done with it on but easier with it off, if so is the bumper hard to remove.... or more to the point refit?

Car is a Ro 6ltr VXR for those that don't know.

Cheers in advance.

Hi Steve,

Yes they are the right parts for the top mounts. When i did mine all the ball bearings had fallen out of the race so probably best to get them as well.

As regards the rear exhaust mounts, I'm pretty sure you don't have to take the bumper off (certain i have taken mine off before), iirc you only have to take the bumper off to change the fog light bulb.

Yes to the bearing.

OEM mount as you have linked to, or the Pedders version
