Parts for your 2014 Nissan Dualis-Exhaust mount

2014 Nissan Dualis exhaust-mount — what it does and when to replace it

Yes, an exhaust-mount is absolutely used on the 2014 Nissan Dualis. Technical sources including the Nissan Qashqai/Dualis J10 Workshop Manual (EX – Exhaust System) and the Nissan Electronic Parts Catalogue (group 20: Exhaust) list multiple rubber exhaust mounting bushes/hangers and associated brackets for this model. These mounts suspend the exhaust and muffler assembly from the body while isolating vibration, so they’re very relevant to comfort and durability on a Dualis.

The exhaust-mounts (often called hangers or rubbers) keep the pipework properly aligned under the car and allow a bit of controlled movement as the system heats, cools and flexes. That prevents knocking on the floorpan, protects welds and flanges from stress, and helps stop premature gasket leaks. On Aussie and Kiwi roads—especially with corrugations, speed humps, and coastal conditions—healthy mounts make a noticeable difference to how quiet and rattle-free a Dualis feels.

Servicing-wise, it’s smart to inspect the exhaust-mounts at each scheduled service or any time the exhaust is off the car. Look for perished, cracked, shiny-stretched or oil-soaked rubber, and check that the metal hangers and brackets aren’t bent or rusty. Replace any suspect mount straight away, they’re inexpensive and quick to fit, and leaving a tired mount can lead to knocks, broken hangers, or even a sagging exhaust that strains the flex joint.

• Common symptoms of worn mounts: thuds over bumps, exhaust tapping under the floor, visible sagging, or a tailpipe that’s off-centre.
• Workshop tip: support the exhaust with a jack and block before removing any mount. A shot of silicone spray helps the rubber slip on and off the pegs.
• Quality matters: use OE or equivalent-spec rubber hardness so the exhaust sits at the right height and doesn’t drone.

There are typically three to five mounts on a 2014 Dualis depending on variant (2WD/4WD, body style, and engine). If one has failed due to age, it’s worth checking the rest closely—cars of the same age often show similar wear. After replacement, make sure the system has adequate clearance around heat shields and crossmembers, and recheck the alignment once the exhaust has heat-cycled.

For exact mount locations and bracket torque settings, refer to the Nissan Qashqai/Dualis J10 Workshop Manual (EX section) and the applicable page of the Nissan EPC for your VIN.

FAQs

Does the 2014 Nissan Dualis actually have exhaust-mounts?
Yes. Factory documentation (Nissan Qashqai/Dualis J10 Workshop Manual, EX section, and Nissan EPC group 20) shows multiple rubber hangers and brackets supporting the exhaust and muffler assembly.

How many exhaust-mounts are on a 2014 Dualis?
Usually three to five, depending on variant and exhaust layout. The typical setup includes mounts near the centre pipe and around the rear muffler, with extra hangers on some trims.

When should the mounts be replaced?
Replace whenever the rubber is cracked, stretched, oil-soaked or the exhaust is knocking/sagging. In local conditions, many last years, but coastal exposure and heat can age them faster—inspect them at each service.
