Anybody got a metro exhaust hanger that can grab a measurement of the hole size? I lowered my metro on h&r springs and it rattles on the sway bar link bolt and it makes the car sound like shit. Only does itat low speeds taking off when the engine shakes the most. Already had the exhaust shop "fix" it once. Hoping a new stiffer poly bushing will be enough to oeep it from contacting. Problem is they come in 12mm and 15mm sizes. Ill eventually measure it and post the results but maybe somebody can save me some time.

Thanks but I need a measurement. That's a rubber hanger but I'm replacing my rubber hangers with stiffer poly ones to hopefully keep the exhaust from shaking and hitting the sway bar link. |

The hanger stems on the oem factory exhaust I just removed from Littlest Hobo are 10mm dia. The stems on the new Bosal exhaust I replaced it with are 13 mm dia. The hanger bolts are 8mm dia. The oem hangers fit both exhausts. I think 12mm is the correct size to order although if your hanger stems are 13mm like my new ones and the hanger is very stiff poly it might be a struggle to get them to fit on because there is a bubble on the end of the mount stems to keep the hanger on the 13 mm dia ones. The factory 10mm dia ones just have a hook bent in the end to prevent the hanger coming off.
