Default Front Exhaust Hanger Bushing?



My exhaust has started rattling a lot, and I've diagnosed it to be the part shown above by the red box. The bushing is bad and is allowing the whole exhaust to vibrate on the transfer case cross member.

Does anyone know where I can get another one? The Jeep dealer by me can't supply me with one because it has been discontinued, and part shops like Advance Auto Parts don't carry it.

I can probably grab one at a junk yard, but I'd rather go new. Any suggestions?

It's built into the crossmember. Pretty sure you just have to replace the crossmember

Piece of hose works, other than that, it comes with a new transmission hose.

Go to rockauto.com and search under your this pathway:

Jeep>1999>Cherokee>4.0L>Transmission-Automatic>Transmission Mount

It's at the top of the list. That what you're looking for?

Why go through the trouble of finding a JY one for a couple bucks when a new one only costs a few bucks?

OK, I know this is an old thread, but are we sure that's the right part? The exhaust hanger on my XJ at the crossmember is round, and not only that, it sits right in the middle of the "bushing". This one looks like it would sit high, let alone even be able to get the hanger in it?

If anyone catches this, please correct me if I'm wrong.

That is the right part for older cherokees, but not for 97+. I haven't been able to find someone that sells the newer one.

That's what I thought. Wondering if it's possible to make these work? Eh, I'll probably just cram a sleeve or some hose in there.
