Parts for your 2019 Mitsubishi Asx-Exhaust mount

2019 Mitsubishi ASX Exhaust Mount

Based on Mitsubishi Motors’ workshop manual for the ASX/RVR (GA2W/GA3W) and the Mitsubishi ASA electronic parts catalogue for the 2019 model year, the vehicle’s exhaust system is supported by multiple rubber exhaust mounts (also called hangers/insulators) and brackets. So yes—an exhaust mount is absolutely used on the 2019 Mitsubishi ASX and is a relevant service item.

The exhaust mounts on a 2019 ASX do the quiet, important work of holding the exhaust system in the right spot while soaking up vibration and movement. They’re typically rubber insulators that slip over metal pegs on the exhaust and chassis, positioned along the centre pipe and at the rear muffler. Their job is to keep rattles down, protect welds and joints from stress, and maintain clearances to the body, heat shields and suspension.

Over time, heat, road grime, and exposure to the elements can harden or crack the rubber. When that happens, the exhaust can sag or shift, which may cause thumps over bumps, annoying rattles at idle, or the tailpipe sitting askew in the bumper cut-out. Left too long, extra movement can strain flanges, the flex joint, and even the catalytic converter.

Good practice on a 2019 ASX is to have the exhaust mounts checked at each scheduled service or at least every 10,000–15,000 kilometres—more often if the vehicle tows, sees corrugated roads, or lives near the coast. Look for perished rubber, tearing around the holes, or shiny rub marks where the system has been touching the body. A quick pry with a trim tool or flat-blade screwdriver (with the exhaust cool) will show if the rubber has gone soft or brittle.

Replacement is straightforward for a workshop: support the exhaust, lubricate the old mount with silicone spray, lever it off the pegs, then install new OEM-quality mounts. It’s smart to replace mounts in pairs on the same section, and to inspect the associated brackets and heat shields at the same time. After refitting, the exhaust should sit centred with even clearances, no contact on start-up or during a gentle shake test. If any bracket fasteners are disturbed, they should be tightened to the factory specification noted in the Mitsubishi service manual.

Choosing quality rubber (or upgraded polymer) mounts helps the ASX stay quiet and composed, keeping cabin comfort high and the exhaust system happy for the long haul.

• Signs it’s time: rattles, knocks over bumps, a droopy tailpipe, or fresh contact marks.
• Service tip: inspect at every service, replace at the first sign of cracks, elongation, or hardening.
• Parts note: there are several mounts along the system, not just one “exhaust mount.”

Popular questions about 2019 Mitsubishi ASX exhaust mounts

How many exhaust mounts does a 2019 ASX have?
Most 2019 ASX variants use several rubber mounts supporting the centre pipe and rear muffler—commonly three to five depending on engine, drivetrain (2WD/4WD), and market equipment. A technician will confirm count and placement during inspection.

Can worn mounts cause a drone or vibration in the cabin?
They can contribute. If mounts sag or stiffen, the exhaust may contact the body or transmit more vibration. That said, drone can also come from tyres, wheel bearings, or a leaking muffler. A quick underbody check usually pinpoints the culprit.

Is it OK to drive with a broken exhaust mount?
It’s risky. A missing or torn mount can let the exhaust swing, stress joints, or hit the body. Short, gentle trips to a workshop might be fine, but prompt replacement prevents collateral damage and keeps the ASX safe and quiet.
