Parts for your 2014 Ford Falcon-Exhaust mount

2014 Ford Falcon exhaust mount: purpose, servicing, and replacement

Yes, the 2014 Ford Falcon uses exhaust mounts (rubber exhaust hangers/insulators). This is confirmed by technical sources including the Ford FG/FG X Falcon Workshop Manual (Section 309-00 Exhaust System — General Information), which details the exhaust system support via rubber insulators, and the Ford Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC/Microcat), which lists “insulator — exhaust mounting” components for FG-series Falcons. Major aftermarket fitment guides and catalogues for the FG/FG X platform also list direct-fit exhaust mounting rubbers for the 2014 model year, reinforcing that these mounts are standard equipment.

On a 2014 Falcon, the exhaust mounts isolate vibration and hold the exhaust at the correct height and alignment from the catalytic converter back to the rear muffler. Their job is to keep things quiet, prevent knocks against the underbody, and allow the system to move slightly as the driveline twists and heats up. When they perish or stretch, owners will notice rattles, a droopy tailpipe, or thumps over bumps.

Common signs it’s time to replace the exhaust mounts on a 2014 Ford Falcon:

• Rattling or knocking from under the car, especially at idle or on rough roads
• Exhaust sitting off-centre in the bumper cut-out or visibly sagging
• Excess vibration in the cabin due to poor isolation
• Cracked, glazed, or oil-soaked rubber mounts on visual inspection

Service tips and replacement advice:

• Inspect the mounts at every service or 20,000 km, and after any exhaust work or kerb strike.
• Always let the exhaust cool fully. Support it with a stand or jack before removing mounts.
• Use silicone spray or soapy water to slip old rubbers off the hangers, dedicated exhaust-hanger pliers make the job easier.
• Replace mounts as a set if multiple are aged, and check metal hangers and heat shields for rust or contact points.
• Choose OEM-quality rubber for factory comfort, performance polyurethane options add control but may increase NVH.

Keeping the exhaust mounts fresh on a 2014 Ford Falcon protects the mufflers and welds, keeps drones and buzzes at bay, and maintains proper tip alignment. It’s a quick, affordable job that pays off in smoother, quieter motoring.

What does an exhaust mount do on a 2014 Ford Falcon?

It suspends and isolates the exhaust system from the body. That keeps vibrations and harshness out of the cabin, prevents metal-on-metal knocks, and allows the system to move with engine torque and heat cycles without stressing welds.

How often should the exhaust mounts be replaced?

There’s no fixed interval, but checking them at every service or roughly every 20,000 km is sensible. Replace when the rubber shows cracking, hardening, or the exhaust no longer sits correctly. High heat, oil contamination, and rough roads can shorten their life.

Is it safe to drive with a broken exhaust mount?

Short trips may be possible, but it’s not ideal. A failed mount can let the exhaust hit the underbody, strain joints, or damage sensors. It may also change how fumes exit. Get it inspected and sorted promptly to avoid bigger repair bills.
