Citroen Exhaust Hangers for Sale in South Africa

A single rubber ring costs about what a coffee does, which makes them one of the few genuinely trivial purchases in car maintenance. Because they are so cheap, the sensible approach is to replace all of them whenever any part of the exhaust is off the car — the labour is already being paid for and the remaining originals are the same age as the one that failed. Send the VIN and we will quote a set rather than a single.

A failed hanger, roughly nine times out of ten, letting the silencer or a pipe touch the chassis or a heat shield. The other three candidates are a broken baffle inside the silencer, which sounds like loose change in a tin; a torn flexible joint; and a clamp that has slipped. All four are visible on a hoist in a couple of minutes, so this is one fault worth having identified rather than guessed at — the fixes range from a few rand to a few thousand.

Lift the section by hand with the car cold. A healthy hanger holds it up; a failed one lets the section drop noticeably and you can feel the difference immediately. Usually the split is visible too, running along the join in the rubber ring. On the Xsara and C3 Aircross the rear box is heavy enough that losing one hanger drops it onto the rear axle beam, which you will hear over the next speed bump.

We source hangers nationally and the C2, C3, Xsara and C3 Aircross rubbers are common stock that ships same day. They are not all the same shape or thickness within a single system, so a photo of the existing hanger and its position under the car is worth more than a model name here. Send the VIN and the photo and we will get the right ones out to you.
