54bobby Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 guys, my 87 2.5 manche has 2 hanger locations. one near the tail pipe and another further forward of the same design. question is, there is a bracket bolted up underneath with a piece of rubber like strapping connected to it. looks like some kind of a hanger assembly and looks incomplete. I just put a new system on and there are no mounting points for this other strapping point. is this an exhaust hanger? my system does hit the cross member from time to time while driving. I will be doing both engine and trans mounts soon but they don't seem to be to the point where the pipe should contact the cross member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

54bobby Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 ok, but I can't see a pic of the rubber strap. does anyone have an actual photograph of the setup? the bracket is there with a strap coming off of it but nothing on the end of the strap. like it's bin cut.

Eagle Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Part #19 in the exploded diagram from the link yxmj gave you is the rubber "strap" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

54bobby Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 #19 is rearward from the cat, the mount I am looking for a pic of is forward of the cat. #9 on the diagram on my truck has a rubber strap/belt looking piece connected to it.

yxmj Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Ok look at pic #13 that bracket bolts to the car flange then slides into the half pipe looking rubber with the half moon in it that is mounted in the box shaped holder mounted on the cross member. There is no "strap" at the front from the factory :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54bobby Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 but how does that bracket connect to the exhaust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54bobby Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 i'll try to get a pic but photo bucket is not letting me copy links. that's a whole other story. grrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yxmj Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 but how does that bracket connect to the exhaust? If you look at the large exploded picture.....the down pipe (1) bolts by a 4 bolted flange end to the cat/pipe ( #4 or #12) the bracket (#9) bolts up right at that junction...I have see them with 2 studs....like the picture ....or just holes that would take bolts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yxmj Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 This pic is taken from the passenger side looking back on the cross-member..... On my mj the u shaped bar is bolted to the back side of the exhaust flange and faces to the front (is this the part you are looking for?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 but how does that bracket connect to the exhaust? It's attached to the transmission bracket on the crossmember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54bobby Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 ok, I'm getting close. I was looking at something entirely different. I was looking on the frame rail there is a bracket with a strap attached to it and thought that was it. I now see the half moon hole where the bracket goes in. so I need everything from the half moon hole rearward. will the part 52003040 from Arizona parts come with everything I need? there is no available pic to show whats included.

yxmj Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Your description has me a bit confused….. :dunno: So my answer is this….if you have right now the rubber isolator with the “U” shaped cut out in some way bolted to your cross member ….then all you will need is the part you say (52003040)….ask if it comes with bolts…..if not you will have to get a couple of appropriate bolts to bolt her up. This might not be for you but for anyone out there who needs one of these and has some fab skills: 1) An angle grinder with a cut off wheel to cut a piece of pipe length wise twice (to make the half pipe) 2) A 3”x 3” piece of 10 ga. steel….drill 2 hole…..grind the arc cut out for the pipe…..weld the u-pipe you made at 90°……..done deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnuck Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 This pic is taken from the passenger side looking back on the cross-member..... On my mj the u shaped bar is bolted to the back side of the exhaust flange and faces to the front (is this the part you are looking for?) That looks like the setup on my Comanche. Frowny face and not smiley. The plate is attached to the trans mount and not the crossbar on mine. http://comancheclub.com/topic/41384-exhaust/?p=421749 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54bobby Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 yes, THATS IT. and mine too is a frown not a smiley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

54bobby Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Arizona parts pn# 52003040. exhaust down pipe support bracket. google Arizona parts and they will be listed NOS MOPAR parts. this place only takes check or money orders, no card transactions or paypal so the turn around time is a couple weeks. part was 20 bucks and 10 shipping to jersey. you will need to drop the down pipe in order to get it on but well worth it.
