Parts for your 2022 Honda Cr-v-Exhaust mount

2022 Honda CR-V Exhaust Mounts

Yes—exhaust mounts are fitted to the 2022 Honda CR‑V. This is confirmed by Honda’s service information for the 2017–2022 CR‑V (RW/RT) under “Muffler Removal/Installation,” which specifies removing and refitting the exhaust hanger rubbers, and by Honda’s Electronic Parts Catalogue, which lists the OEM rubber “insulator” (exhaust hanger) components that support the mid‑pipe and rear muffler.

On the 2022 CR‑V, exhaust mounts (often called hangers or insulators) are the tough rubber isolators that suspend the exhaust from the underbody brackets. Their job is to keep the pipework and muffler aligned, maintain safe clearances from the body and suspension, and absorb vibration so the cabin stays quiet. They also protect flex joints and flanges by allowing controlled movement without hard knocks.

Because they live near heat and road spray, the rubber can harden, crack or stretch over time. Typical signs they’re tired include a droopy or skewed tailpipe, a thud over bumps, a rattle at idle, or the muffler tapping the rear bumper or subframe.

For routine servicing of a 2022 Honda CR‑V, it’s smart to give the exhaust mounts a quick once‑over every 20,000–30,000 kilometres or annually:

• Look for splits, perished rubber, torn loops or elongated holes.
• Check that the exhaust sits centred in its cut‑outs with healthy clearance to heat shields and suspension arms.
• Squeeze the rubber: if it’s rock‑hard or crumbly, it’s due.

Replacement is straightforward with the car safely raised. Support the muffler with a jack and timber block, spray the hanger pins with silicone spray, and swap one mount at a time so the system doesn’t drop. Avoid petroleum‑based lubricants that attack rubber. After refitting, make sure there’s consistent clearance all round and that the system isn’t pre‑loaded or twisted. If the vehicle tows, sees corrugated roads, or does lots of beach work, expect the mounts to age faster from heat, load and salt exposure.

OEM‑spec rubber mounts are a safe bet for NVH control. Heavy‑duty polyurethane options can last longer but may transmit more vibration into the cabin. There’s no fixed replacement interval—change them when they show wear or whenever the exhaust alignment can’t be set right with the existing mounts.

Popular questions about 2022 Honda CR‑V exhaust mounts

How many exhaust mounts does a 2022 Honda CR‑V have?
Most 2022 CR‑V models use several rubber mounts—commonly one on the mid‑pipe and two around the rear muffler, with variations by trim and market. The exact count can differ slightly with AWD/FWD and accessory tow setups.

How long do the exhaust mounts last on a CR‑V?
Typically 5–10 years or 80,000–150,000 kilometres. Heat, road salt, towing and rough roads shorten their life. Replace whenever you see cracking, hardening, or the exhaust sits off‑centre or knocks.

Can a DIYer replace the exhaust mounts at home?
Yes, if they’re comfortable working under the car. Use sturdy stands, support the muffler, and lubricate the hanger pins with silicone spray. If the system is corroded or badly misaligned, a workshop visit is the safer call.
